Chuck Berry - Let It Rock lyrics

Artist: Chuck Berry

album: The Definitive Collection


In the heat of the day down in mobile Alabama
Working on the railroad with the steel driving hammer
I gotta make some money to buy some brand new shoes
Tryin' to find somebody to take away these blues
"She don't love me," hear them singing in the sun
Payday coming when my work is all done
Well, in the evening when the sun is sinking low
All day, I been waiting for the whistle to blow
Sitting in a teepee built right on the tracks
Rolling them bones 'til the foreman comes back
Pick up your belongings boys scatter about
We've got an off-schedule train comin' two miles out
Everybody's scrambling, running around
Picking up their money, tearing the teepee down
A foreman wants to panic, out to go insane
Trying to get the workers out the way of the train
Engineer blowing the whistle long and long
Can't stop the train, you have to let it roll on
