Let It Rock - Dave Edmunds, The Refreshments

In the heat of the day

Down In mobile Alabama

Working on the railroad

With the steel-driving hammer

I 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 when 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 track

Rolling them bones until 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 scrambling n' 'jumping 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 long and long

Can’t stop the train

You have to let it roll on
