Let It Rock |
| Well in the heat of day down in mobile, alabama |
| Im workin on the railroad with a steel drivin hammer |
| I gotta get some money buy some brand new shoes |
| Gotta find somebody take away my blues |
| Well she dont love me when Im singin in the sun |
| Paydays comin when the work is all done |
| Well now late here in the evening when the sun is sinkin low |
| All day Ive been waitin for that whistle to blow |
| Sitting in a teepee built right on here on the tracks |
| Rolling them bones until the foreman comes back |
| Pick up your belongings boys and scattere about |
| Weve got an off shedule train comin two miles out |
| Everybodys scrambling and a running around |
| Picking up their money tearing the teepee down |
| Foreman wants to panic, bout to go insane |
| Trying to get the workers out the way of the train |
| Engineer blows the whistle loud and long |
| Cant stop the train gotta let it roll on |
| «bye bye johnny» |
| Well now she drew out all of the money of southern trust |
| And put her little johnny on a greybound bus |
| Leavin louisiana for the golden west |
| Drowned in the tears from her happiness |
| Her own little son named johnny b goode |
| Gonna make some motion pictures out in hollywood |
| I said bye, bye, bye, bye |
| I said bye, bye, bye, bye |
| Bye bye johnny, goodbye johnny b goode |
| Well she remembers taking money after gathering crops |
| And buying johnnys guitar at the brokers shop |
| As long as he would play it by the railroad site |
| He wouldnt get in trouble she was satisfied |
| Well she never knew there would come a day like this |
| When shed have to give johnny a good bye kiss |
| I said bye, bye, bye, bye |
| I said bye, bye, bye, bye |
| Bye bye johnny, goodbye johnny b goode |
| Well now she finally got the letter shed been dreaming of When johnny wrote and told her he had done fell in love |
| As soon as he was married hed bring her back |
| And build a mansion for her by the railroad trck |
| And every time you heard that locomotive roar |
| Shed be standing there waiting at the kitchen door |
| I said bye, bye, bye, bye |
| I said bye, bye, bye, bye |
| Bye bye johnny, goodbye johnny b goode |
