Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][D]

[Verse 1]
In the [D]heat of the day
down in mobile alabama
Workin' on the railroad with
a steel drivin' hammer
[G]Gotta get some money,
buy some brand new shoes
[D]Try to find somebody to
take away these blues
[A]She don't love me here I'm sing in the sun
[D]Pay day is coming when my

[Interlude 1]
work is all done
[D]
[G][D]
[A][D]

[Verse 2]
[D]Up and in the evening when
the sun is sinking low
All day I've been waiting
for the whistle to blow
Sit[G]tin' in a tee- pee built
right on the tracks
[D]Rollin' them bones til the
foreman comes back
Pick up [A]your belongings boys
and scatter about
We've got an [D]off scheduled
train comin' two miles out

[Verse 3]
Let [D]it roll, let it roll, let [G]it roll lord, let [D]it roll
[A]Pick up your belongings boys
and scatter about
We've got an [D]off scheduled train

[Interlude 2]
comin' two miles out
[D]

[Verse 4]
[D]Everybody's scramblin' and
a jumpin' around
Pickin' up the money and
tearing the tee- pee down
The fore[G]man's about to
panic and a go insane
Try[D]in' to get the workers
out of the way of the train
[A]Engineer blowing the
whistle loud and long
Can[D]'t stop a train you've
got to let it roll on

[Verse 5]
Let [D]it roll, let it roll, let [G]it roll lord, let [D]it roll
En[A]gineer blowing the
whistle loud and long
Can[D]'t stop a train you've

[Outro 1]
got to let it roll on
[D][A]
