Lyrics

In the heat of the day down in Mobil, Alabama
I'm workin' on the railroad with a steel drivin' hammer
Gots to get some money, buy some brand new shoes
Try to find somebody take away these blues
Hear she don't love me, hear her singin' in the sun
Her payday is comin' when the work is all done
Hey!
Well, in the evenin' when the sun is sinkin' low
All that I've been waitin' for the whistle to blow
Sittin' in the teepee built right on the tracks
Rollin' them bone 'til the foreman come back
Now pick up your belonging, boy, scattered about
We got an off-scheduled train comin' two miles out
Ow!
Ow, everybody scamblin' and a-jumpin' around
Pickin' up the money, tearin' the teepee down
Foreman blows a panic and 'bout to go insane
Tryin' to keep the workers out the way of the train
Engineer blowin' the whistle loud and loud
Can't stop the train, we gotta let it roll on
