Let It Rock - 2005 Digital Remaster

In the heat of the day down in Mobile, Alabama
Working on the railroad with the steel driving hammer
Gotta get some money, 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 the work is all done

Oh, later in the evening when the sun is sinking low
All day I been waiting for the whistle to blow
Sitting in a teepee built right on the tracks
Rolling them bones until the foreman comes back
Pick up you belongings boys and scatter about
We've got an on-schedule train a-comin' two miles out

Everybody's scrambling, jumping around
Picking up their money, tearing the teepee down
The Foreman's in a panic, bout to go insane
Trying to get the workers out the way of the train
Engineer blows the whistle loud and long
He can't stop the train, he has to let it roll on
