Let It Rock Lyrics

Let It Rock lyrics

In The Heat Of The Day Down In Mobile Alabama

 Working on the railroad with the steel driving hammer

 Gotta make some money to 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 and my work is all done

 

 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 off-schedule train comin?two miles about

 

 Everybody's scrambling, running around

 Picking up their money, tearing the teepee down

 Foreman wants to panic, bout to go insane

 Trying to get the workers out the way of the train

 Engineer blows the whistle loud and long

 Can't stop the train, gotta let it roll on
