Let It Rock

Lyrics

In the heat of the day down in Mobile, Alabama Working on the railroad with a steel-driving hammer Gotta make some money, buy some brand new shoes Gotta find somebody to take away these blues "She don't love me," hear them singing in the sun Pay day's coming when my work is all done Early 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 right on the tracks Rolling them bones till the foreman comes back Oh, pick up your belongings, boys, scatter about We've got an off-schedule train coming two miles out Everybody's scrambling 'n' jumping around Picking up their money, tearing the teepee down The foreman is a-panicked, about to go insane Trying to get the workers out of the way of the train The engineer's blowing his whistle loud and long You can't stop the train, you gotta let it roll on
