In the heat of the day down in Mobile Alabama
Workin' on the railroad with a steel drivin' hammer
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's comin' when my work is all done
[ piano ]
Well oven in the evenin' when the sun is sinkin' low
All the ovens waitin' for the whistle to blow
Sittin' in the teepee built a right on the tracks
Rollin' them bones till the foreman comes back
Pick up your belongings boys scatter about
We got an off shedule train comin' two miles out
Let it roll let it roll let it roll let it roll
Pick up your belongings boys scatter about
We got an off shedule train comin' two miles out
[ guitar ]
Well everybody's scramblin' and they're jumpin' around
Pickin' up the money tearin' the teepee down
Foreman was a panic bout to go insane
Tryin' to get the workers out the way of the train
Engineer blowin' the whistle loud and long
Can't stop the train they gotta let it roll on
Let it roll let it roll let it roll let it roll
Engineer blowin' the whistle long and loud
Can't stop the train they gotta let it roll on
