Let It Roll (Let It Rock)

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, here, I'm singin' in the sun

Pay day is comin' when my work is all done

Well, up and in the evenin' when the sun is sinkin' low

All day I've been waiting for the whistle to blow

Sittin' in a tee-pee built right on the tracks

Rollin' them bones 'til the foreman comes back

Pick up your belongings boys. scatter about

We got an off scheduled 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 scheduled train comin' two miles out

Well, everybody's scramblin' and a jumpin' around

Pickin' up the money, tearin' the tee-pee down

Foreman was to panic 'bout to go insane

Tryin' to get the workers out the way of the train

Engineer blowin' a whistle loud and long

Can't stop a train you got to let it roll on

Let it roll, let it roll

Let it roll, let it roll

Engineer blowin' the whistle loud and long

Can't stop a train you got to let it roll on
