Let It Rock

Lyrics

[Verse 1] In the heat of the day down in Mobile, Alabama Working on the railroad with the steel driving hammer I gotta make some money to buy some brand new shoes Tryin' to find somebody to take away these blues "She don't love me" hear them singing in the sun Payday's coming when my work is all done [Verse 2] Well, in the evening when the sun is sinking low All day I've been waiting for the whistle to blow Sitting in a teepee, built it right on the track Rolling them bones 'til the foreman come back Pick up you belongings, boys, and scatter about We've got an off-schedule train comin' two miles about [Verse 3] Well, everybody's scrambling and they're jumping around Picking up their money, tearing the teepee down The foreman wants to panic, 'bout to go insane Tryin' to get the workers out the way of the train Engineer blowing the whistle loud and long Can't stop the train, they have to let it roll on
