"Roll in My Sweet Baby's Arms" is an American traditional song. It seems to have developed from lyrics in the cowboy song "My Lula Gal", itself a development of bawdy British and Appalachian songs generally known as "Bang Bang Rosie" or "Bang Away Lulu.
The Flatt & Scruggs version was first released as a single by Lester Flatt, Earl Scruggs and the Foggy Mountain Boys, on December 14, 1951. Buck Owens released his cover version "Rollin' in My Sweet Baby's Arms" in August 1971 as the second single from his album Ruby. The song peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart . It also reached number 1 on the RPM Country Tracks chart in Canada.
Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show (shortened to Dr. Hook in 1975) was an American rock band, formed in Union City, New Jersey. They enjoyed considerable commercial success in the 1970s with hit singles including "Sylvia's Mother", "The Cover of 'Rolling Stone'" (both 1972), "Only Sixteen" (1975), "A Little Bit More" (1976), "Sharing the Night Together" (1978), "When You're in Love with a Beautiful Woman" (1979), "Better Love Next Time" (1979), and "Sexy Eyes" (1980). In addition to their own material, Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show performed songs written by the poet Shel Silverstein.
The band had eight years of regular chart hits in the United States, where their music was played on top-40, easy listening, and country music outlets, and throughout the English-speaking world including the UK, Canada and South Africa. Their music spanned several genres, mostly novelty songs and acoustic ballads in their early years, though their greatest success came with their later material, mostly consisting of disco-influenced soft rock, which the band recorded under the shortened name Dr. Hook.

[@robertbush7290]

These guys never got the recognition they deserved. They were true musicians, singers, entertainers, etc...

[@marylburns8469]

U got that right for sure

[@nathandodge665]

Most of their hits were written specifically for 12 yr old girls

[@elvafelixmartinez1600]

es verdad❤

[@Looneybob1]

You are so very correct. They were extremely talented. Their funny songs were awesome, and their serious songs were just as good. They clearly loved performing together.

Give this band a break! As I understand it they are Vietnam vets! Lucky to come home alive!....have some respect!xxx

[@roserollins9471]

If Dr Hooks goal was to make the fans happy they sure did succeed in life and continue to do so

[@paulgildan4388]

To me, it seems obvious that to act so crazy and yet sound so good musically takes tremendous talent.
