Let It Roll

In the heat of the day down in Mobile Alabama

Working on the railroad with a steel driving hammer

Gotta get some money buy some brand new shoes

Try to find somebody take away these blues

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

Payday's coming when my work is all done

Oven in the evening when the sun is sinking low

All the ovens waiting for the whistle to blow

Sitting in the teepee built a right on the tracks

Rolling them bones till the foreman comes back

Pick up your belongings boys scatter about

We got an off shedule train coming two miles out

Let it roll let it roll let it roll let it roll

Pick up your belongings boys scatter about

We got an off shedule train coming two miles out

Well everybody's scrambling and they're jumping around

Pickin' up the money tearing the teepee down

Foreman was a panic bout to go insane

Trying to get the workers out the way of the train

Engineer blowing the whistle loud and long

Can't stop the train they gotta let it roll on

Let it roll let it roll let it roll let it roll

Engineer blowing the whistle long and loud

Can't stop the train they gotta let it roll on ^[1]
