Let It Rock Lyrics - The Rolling Stones

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

2 Working on the railroad with the steel driving hammer

3 Gotta make some money to buy some brand new shoes

4 Tryin' to find somebody to take away these blues

5 "She don't love me" hear them singing in the sun

6 Payday's coming and my work is all done

7 Later in the evening when the sun is sinking low

8 All day I been waiting for the whistle to blow

9 Sitting in a teepee built right on the tracks

10 Rolling them bones until the foreman comes back

11 Pick up you belongings boys and scatter about

12 We've got an off-schedule train comin? two miles about

13 Everybody's scrambling, running around

14 Picking up their money, tearing the teepee down

15 Foreman wants to panic, 'bout to go insane

16 Trying to get the workers out the way of the train

17 Engineer blows the whistle loud and long

18 Can't stop the train, gotta let it roll on
