Lyrics
In the heat of the day down in Mobile, Alabama
Workin' on the railroad with a steel drivin' hammer
Gotta get some money, buy some brand new shoes
Tryin' to find somebody to take away these blues
"She don't love me," hear 'em singin' in the sun
Payday's comin' and the work is all done
Well, in the evening 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 track
Workin' them bones until the foreman comes back
Pick up your belongings, boys, scatter about
We got an off-gauge train comin' to my town
Everybody's scramblin', runnin' around
Pickin' up their money, tearin' their teepee down
Foreman wants to panic, guys are goin' insane
Tryin' to get the workers out the way of the train
Engineer blowin' the whistle loud and long
Can't stop the train, have to let it roll
