Let It Rock Lyrics
In the heat of the day down in Mobile, Alabama,
Workin' on the railroad with the steel drivin' hammer.
I gotta get some money, buy some brand new shoes.
Try to find somebody take away these blues.
"She don't love me," hear 'em singin' in the sun.
"Payday comin' when my work is all done."
Well, in the evenin' when the sun is sinkin' low,
All day I been waitin' for the whistle to blow.
Sittin' in a teepee built right on the track,
Rollin' them bones until the foreman come back.
Pick up you' belongings, boys and scatter about,
We got an off-schedule train comin', two miles out.
Everybody's scramblin' and jumpin' around.
Pickin' up the money, tearin' the teepee down.
A-foreman wants to panic, 'bout to go insane.
Tryin' to get the workers out the way of the train.
Engineer blowin' the whistle long and long.
Can't stop the train, he hafta let it roll on.
Workin' on the railroad with the steel drivin' hammer.
I gotta get some money, buy some brand new shoes.
Try to find somebody take away these blues.
"She don't love me," hear 'em singin' in the sun.
"Payday comin' when my work is all done."
All day I been waitin' for the whistle to blow.
Sittin' in a teepee built right on the track,
Rollin' them bones until the foreman come back.
Pick up you' belongings, boys and scatter about,
We got an off-schedule train comin', two miles out.
Pickin' up the money, tearin' the teepee down.
A-foreman wants to panic, 'bout to go insane.
Tryin' to get the workers out the way of the train.
Engineer blowin' the whistle long and long.
Can't stop the train, he hafta let it roll on.
