Let It Rock - Skyhooks

In the heat of the day down in Mobil Alabama

I was working on the railroad with a steel drivin' hammer

Trying to get some money buy a pair of new shoes

Trying to get a woman chase away my blues

Hot head wasted all sweating in the son

I won’t see a woman till my work is all done

Maybe in the evening when the sun is sinking low

I’ll be out waiting for my whistle to blow

Sitting in my teepee smoking out on the track

Jiving and singing till my foreman gets back

Suddenly I hear the brakeman up and shout

«There's a non stop train comin' two miles out»

Everybody’s jumping and spinnin around

Trying to get a line and get the teepee down

Railroad owners 'bout to go insane

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

Here comes the engineer honkity honk

He’s got a train he’s gotta let it roll let it rock
