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

Payday's comin' when my work is all done

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

All day, I've been waitin' for the whistle to blow

Sittin' in a teepee built right on the tracks

Rollin' them bones till the foreman comes back

Pick up your belongings, boys, scatter about

We've got an off-schedule 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've got an off-schedule train comin' two miles out

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

Pickin' up the money, tearin' the teepee down

Foreman was a-panicked, 'bout to go insane

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

The engineer blowin' the whistle long and low

Can't stop a train, you gotta let it roll on

Let it roll, let it roll

Let it roll, let it roll

The engineer blowin' the whistle long and low

Can't stop a train, you gotta let it roll on
