Lyrics Let It Rock - The Rolling Stones

Let It Rock

In the heat of the day down in Mobile, Alabama\nWorking on the railroad with the steel driving hammer\nGotta make some money to buy some brand new shoes\nTryin' to find somebody to take away these blues\n«She don’t love me» hear them singing in the sun\nPayday’s coming and my work is all done\nLater in the evening when the sun is sinking low\nAll day I been waiting for the whistle to blow\nSitting in a teepee built right on the tracks\nRolling them bones until the foreman comes back\nPick up you belongings boys and scatter about\nWe’ve got an off-schedule train comin? two miles about\nEverybody’s scrambling, running around\nPicking up their money, tearing the teepee down\nForeman wants to panic, ?bout to go insane\nTrying to get the workers out the way of the train\nEngineer blows the whistle loud and long\nCan’t stop the train, gotta let it roll on
