Lyrics
Yeah, heard the diesel drumming all down the line
Oh, heard the wires a humming all down the line
Yeah, hear the women sighing all down the line
Oh, hear the children crying all down the line
(All down the line) We'll be watching out for trouble, yeah
(All down the line) And we keep the motor running, yeah
(All down the line) You can't say yes and you can't say no
Be right there when the whistle blows
I need a sanctified girl with a sanctified mind to help me now
Yeah, all the people singing all down the line
Mmmm, watch the men all working, working, yeah (All down the line)
(All down the line) Yeah, we open up the throttle, yeah
(All down the line) We're gonna bust another bottle, yeah
(Down the line) I need a shot of salvation, baby, once in a while
Hear the whistle blowing, hear it for a thousand miles
(All down the line) We're gonna open up the throttle, yeah, yeah
(All down the line) We're gonna bust us just another bottle, yeah
Well you can't say yes, and you can't say no
Be right there when the whistle blows
I need a sanctified mind to help me out right now
Won't you be my little baby for awhile
Oh won't you be my little baby for awhile
Oh won't you be my little baby for awhile, yeah
Oh won't you be my little baby for awhile...
Writer(s): Keith Richards, Mick Jagger
