Let It Rock Lyrics - Stray Cats

In the heat of the day, down in Mobile, Alabama 

Working on the railroad with a steel driving hammer 

I gotta make some money buy some brand new shoes 

Gotta find somebody to take away these blues 

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

Pay day's coming, when the work is all done 

Early in the evening when the sun is sinking low 

All day I've been waiting for the whistle to blow 

Sitting in a teepee building right on the tracks 

Rolling them bones till the foreman comes back 

Pick up your belongings boys scattered around 

We gotta all set the train coming two miles out 

Yeah everybody's scampering and jumping around 

Picking up the money tearing the teepee down 

A foreman was in panic about to go insane 

Trying to get the workers outa the way of the train 

the engineer's blowing his whistle loud and long 

You can't stop the train you gotta let it roll on 

Roll on 

Roll on 

Roll on 

Let it rock 

Let it rock 

Roll on 

Roll on 

Roll on boy
