The Grateful Dead - Let It Rock lyrics
[The Grateful Dead - Let It Rock lyrics]
Well up in the evening down in Mobile
Alabama working on the railroad with
The steel driving hammer
Gotta make some money to buy
Some brand new shoes
Trying to find somebody to
Take away these blues
"She don't love me" hear them
Singing in the sun
Payday's coming and my work is all done
Later in the evening when the
Sun is sinking low
All day I been waiting for
The whistle to blow
Sitting in a tepee built right on the tracks
Rolling them bones until the
Foreman comes back
Pick up you belongings boys and scatter about
We've got an off-schedule train
Comin two miles about
Everybody's trembling and running around
Picking up their money
Tearing the tepee down
Foreman wants a penny about 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, gotta let it roll on
Alabama working on the railroad with
The steel driving hammer
Gotta make some money to buy
Some brand new shoes
Trying to find somebody to
Take away these blues
"She don't love me" hear them
Singing in the sun
Payday's coming and my work is all done
Later in the evening when the
Sun is sinking low
All day I been waiting for
The whistle to blow
Sitting in a tepee built right on the tracks
Rolling them bones until the
Foreman comes back
Pick up you belongings boys and scatter about
We've got an off-schedule train
Comin two miles about
Everybody's trembling and running around
Picking up their money
Tearing the tepee down
Foreman wants a penny about 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, gotta let it roll on
