Let It Rock - 1967 Version
In the heat of the day down in Mobile, Alabama
Workin' on the railroad with the steel-drivin' 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 singin' in the sun
Payday comin' when my work is all done
Well, evenin' when the sun is sinkin' low
All day I been waitin' for the whistle to blow
Sittin' in a teepee built right on the track
Rollin' 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 scramblin' 'n' jumpin' around
A-pickin' up their money, tearin' the teepee down
The foreman's in a panic, 'bout to go insane
Tryin' to get the workers out the way of the train
Engineer blowing the whistle loud and long
Can't stop the train, have to let it roll on
Workin' on the railroad with the steel-drivin' 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 singin' in the sun
Payday comin' when my work is all done
Well, evenin' when the sun is sinkin' low
All day I been waitin' for the whistle to blow
Sittin' in a teepee built right on the track
Rollin' 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 scramblin' 'n' jumpin' around
A-pickin' up their money, tearin' the teepee down
The foreman's in a panic, 'bout to go insane
Tryin' to get the workers out the way of the train
Engineer blowing the whistle loud and long
Can't stop the train, have to let it roll on
