Let It Rock

In the evening of the day down in Mobile, Alabama

Working on the railroad with the steel driving hammer

Gotta get some money to buy some brand new shoes

Gotta find somebody to lose these blues

"She don't love me" hear me singing in the sun

She better leave me 'til my work is all done

In the evening of the day, when the sun is sinking low

All day I been waiting for the whistle to blow

Sitting in a teepee built out on the track

Rolling bones 'til the foreman comes back

Pick up you belongings boys and scatter about

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

Everybody's scrambling and running around

Picking up their money, take the teepee down

Foreman wants to panic, 'bout to go insane

Trying to get the workers out the way of the train

Engineer blown his whistle loud and long

He can't stop the train, gotta let it roll on
