Ronnie Hawkins Let It Rock
In the heat of the day, down in mobile, alabama
Workin on the railroad with a steel drivin hammer
Tryin to get some money, get some brand new shoes
Tryin to find a lady, chase away my blues
Hot and wasted lord sweatin in the sun
cause Im not a foreman till my work is all done
Later in the evening when the sun is sinking low
Ill be out there waitin for the whistle to blow
Sittin in the teepee smokin out on the track
Rollin them bones (meaning dice) till my foreman get back
Suddenly I hear the breakman up and shout
Theres a non-stop train comin two miles out
Everybody jumpin and a scrambling around
Tryin to get the line an get the teepee down
Railroad owners bout to go insane
Tryin to get the workers out the way of the train
Here come the engineer honk his horn
He got a non-stop train, we got to let it roll on!
