Let It Rock

In the heat of the day, down in Mobile, Alabama

Working on the railroad with a steel driving hammer

I gotta make some money buy some brand new shoes

Gotta find somebody to take away these blues

She don't love me, hear me singing in the sun

Pay day's coming, when the 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 building right on the tracks

Rolling them bones till the foreman comes back

Pick up your belongings boys scattered around

We gotta all set the train coming two miles out

Yeah everybody's scampering and jumping around

Picking up the money tearing the teepee down

A foreman was in panic about to go insane

Trying to get the workers outa 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

Roll on

Roll on

Roll on

Let it rock

Let it rock

Roll on

Roll on

Roll on boy
