In the heat of the day, down in Mobile, Alabama |
|
Working on the railroad with a steel driving hammer |
|
I gotta make some money buy some brand new shoes |
|
Gotta find somebody to take away these blues |
|
She don't love me, hear me singing in the sun |
|
Pay day's coming, when the work is all done |
|
Early in the evening when the sun is sinking low |
|
All day I've been waiting for the whistle to blow |
|
Sitting in a teepee building right on the tracks |
|
Rolling them bones till the foreman comes back |
|
Pick up your belongings boys scattered around |
|
We gotta all set the train coming two miles out |
|
Yeah everybody's scampering and jumping around |
|
Picking up the money tearing the teepee down |
|
A foreman was in panic about to go insane |
|
Trying to get the workers outa the way of the train |
|
the engineer's blowing his whistle loud and long |
|
You can't stop the train you gotta let it roll on |
|
Roll on |
|
Roll on |
|
Roll on |
|
Let it rock |
|
Let it rock |
|
Roll on |
|
Roll on |
|
Roll on boy |
