Let It Rock Live in Miami by The Grateful Dead Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well, up in the evening down in Mobile, Alabama
Working on the railroad with the steel driving hammer
Gotta make some money to buy some brand new shoes
Trying to find somebody to take away these blues
"She don't love me" hear them singing in the sun
Payday's coming and my work is all done
[Verse 2]
Well, later in the evening when the sun is sinking low
All day I've been waiting for the whistle to blow
Sitting in a teepee built right on the tracks
Rolling them bones until the foreman comes back
Pick up your belongings, boys, and scatter about
Got an off-schedule train comin' two miles about
[Verse 3]
Well, everybody's scrambling and running around
Picking up their money, tearing the teepee down
Foreman was a panic, 'bout to go insane
Trying to get the workers out the way of the train
Engineer blowing the whistle loud and long
Can't stop the train, we gotta let it roll on
Well, up in the evening down in Mobile, Alabama
Working on the railroad with the steel driving hammer
Gotta make some money to buy some brand new shoes
Trying to find somebody to take away these blues
"She don't love me" hear them singing in the sun
Payday's coming and my work is all done
[Verse 2]
Well, later in the evening when the sun is sinking low
All day I've been waiting for the whistle to blow
Sitting in a teepee built right on the tracks
Rolling them bones until the foreman comes back
Pick up your belongings, boys, and scatter about
Got an off-schedule train comin' two miles about
[Verse 3]
Well, everybody's scrambling and running around
Picking up their money, tearing the teepee down
Foreman was a panic, 'bout to go insane
Trying to get the workers out the way of the train
Engineer blowing the whistle loud and long
Can't stop the train, we gotta let it roll on
