Start Jamming...
[F]
In the heat of the day down in Mobile, Alabama
Working on a railroad with a steel-driving hammer
[Bb] Gotta get some money, buy some brand-new shoes
[F] Try to find somebody to take away these flutes
[Em] She don't love me, I'm singing in the sun
[F] Mayday's coming when my work is all done
[Bb] [F]
[C]
We'll be up in the evening when the sun is sinking low
All day I've been waiting for the whistle to blow
[Bb] Sitting in a TV building right on the tracks
[F] Rolling them phones till a foreman comes [D] back
Speak of you, the longest voice scattered about
[F] We got an off-scheduled train coming two miles out
Let it roll, let it roll, [Bb] let it roll, let [F] it roll
Speak of you, the [Em] longest voice scattered about
[F] We got an off-scheduled train coming two miles out
Everybody's scramming and jumping around
Digging up the money, tearing the TV [Bb] down
Foreman wants to panic, now they're going [F] insane
Trying to get the workers out of the way of the [C] train
The engine's blowing a whistle long and [F] long
Can't stop the train, they gotta let it roll
Let it roll, let it roll, let [D] it roll, [F] let it roll
The [C] engine's blowing a whistle long and [F] long
Can't stop the train, they gotta let it roll
