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 take away these blues
She don't love me, here, I'm singin' in the sun
Pay day is comin' when my work is all done
Well, up and in the evenin' when the sun is sinkin' 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. scatter about
We got an off scheduled train comin' 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 scheduled train comin' two miles out
Well, everybody's scramblin' and a jumpin' around
Pickin' up the money, tearin' the tee-pee down
Foreman was to panic 'bout to go insane
Tryin' to get the workers out the way of the train
Engineer blowin' a whistle loud and long
Can't stop a train you got to let it roll on
Let it roll, let it roll
Let it roll, let it roll
Engineer blowin' the whistle loud and long
Can't stop a train you got to let it roll on
