Chuck Berry. 06 - Let It Rock - BBC Theatre, London 1972 video free download

In the heat of the day down in Mobile, Alabama

Workin' on the railroad with the steel drivin' hammer,

I gotta get some money, buy some brand new shoes

Tryin' to find somebody to take away these blues.

"She don't love me" hear them singin' in the sun

Payday's comin' when my work is all done.

Later in the evenin' when the sun is sinkin' low

All day I've been waitin' for the whistle to blow,

Sittin' in a teepee built right on the tracks

Rollin' them bones till the foreman comes back,

Pick up your belongings and scatter about

We've got an off-schedule train comin' two miles out.

Everybody's scramblin' and jumpin' around

Pickin' up their money, tearing the teepee down.

The Foremans in a panic, about to go insane,

Tryin' to get the workers out the way of the train.

Engineer blows the whistle loud and long

He can't stop the train, have to let it roll on!
