ATryin' to find somebody to take away these blues
E"She don't love me" hear them singing in the sun
APayday's coming and my work is all done
Later in the evening when the sun is sinking low
All day I 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 you belongings boys and scatter about
We've got an off-schedule train comin’ two miles about
Everybody's scrambling, running around
Picking up their money, tearing the teepee down
Foreman wants to panic, ‘bout to go insane
Trying to get the workers out the way of the train
Engineer blows the whistle loud and long
Can't stop the train, 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

Tryin' 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

Later in the evening when the sun is sinking low

All day I 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 you belongings boys and scatter about

We've got an off-schedule train comin’ two miles about

Everybody's scrambling, running around

Picking up their money, tearing the teepee down

Foreman wants to panic, ‘bout to go insane

Trying to get the workers out the way of the train

Engineer blows the whistle loud and long

Can't stop the train, gotta let it roll on
