Rockin' On The Railroad (Let It Rock) - With Overdub Applause
In the heat of the day down in Mobile, Alabama
Working on the railroad with the steel-driving hammer
I gotta get some money, buy some brand new shoes
Tryna find somebody take away these blues
"She don't love me", hear 'em singing in the sun
Payday coming when my work is all done
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 'til the foreman comes back
Pick up your belongings boys and scatter about
We've got an off-schedule train comin' two miles out
Everybody's scrambling and jumping around
Picking up their money, tearing the teepee down
A foreman wants to panic, 'bout to go insane
Tryna get the workers out the way of the train
Engineer blows the whistle long and long
Can't stop the train, you have to let it roll on
Working on the railroad with the steel-driving hammer
I gotta get some money, buy some brand new shoes
Tryna find somebody take away these blues
"She don't love me", hear 'em singing in the sun
Payday coming when my work is all done
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 'til the foreman comes back
Pick up your belongings boys and scatter about
We've got an off-schedule train comin' two miles out
Everybody's scrambling and jumping around
Picking up their money, tearing the teepee down
A foreman wants to panic, 'bout to go insane
Tryna get the workers out the way of the train
Engineer blows the whistle long and long
Can't stop the train, you have to let it roll on
