Let It Roll

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 to take away these blues She don't love me here I'm sing in the sun Pay day is coming when my work is all done Up and in the evening when the sun is sinking low All day I've been waiting for the whistle to blow Sittin' in a tee-pee built right on the tracks Rollin' them bones til the foreman comes back Pick up your belongings boys and scatter about Out Roll Lord, Let It Roll Pick up your belongings boys and scatter about We've got an off scheduled train comin' two miles Out Everybody's scramblin' and a jumpin' around Pickin' up the money and tearing the tee-pee down The foreman's about to panic and a go insane Tryin' to get the workers out of the way of the Train Engineer blowing the whistle loud and long Can't stop a train you've got to let it roll on Roll Lord, Let It Roll Engineer blowing the whistle loud and long Can't stop a train you've got to let it roll on
