Let It Rock Songtext
von Silence

In the heat of the day down in Mobile, Alabama
Workin′ on the railroad with a steel drivin' hammer
I gotta get the money, buy some brand new shoes
Try to find somebody, take away these blues
"She don′t love me" hear 'em sing in the sun
Payday's comin′ now the work is all done


Well, in the evenin′ when the sun is sinkin' low
All day I′ve been waitin' for the whistle to blow
Sittin′ in the teepee, built it right on the track
Rollin' them bones ′til the foreman comes back
Pick up what belongs 'fore it's scattered about
′Cause the long ship train comin′ two miles out

Yeah, everybody's scramblin′ and a-jumpin' around
Pickin′ up the money, tearin' the teepee down
The foreman′s growin' frantic, he's almost insane
Tryin′ to get the workers out the way of the train
Engineer blowin′ the whistle long and long
Can't stop the train, gotta let it roll along
