Bilingual
In the heat of the day, down in Mobile, Alabama
Workin' on the railroad with a steel drivin' hammer
Tryin' to get some money, get some brand new shoes
Tryin' to find a lady, chase away my blues
Hot and wasted, I'll be sweatin' in the sun
Payday coming 'til my work is all done
ย
Later in the evening, when the sun is sinking low
I'll be out there waitin' for the whistle to blow
Sittin' in the teepee smokin' out on the track
Rollin' them bones 'til my foreman get back
Suddenly, I hear the breakman up and shout
There's a non-stop train runnin' just two miles out
ย
Everybody jumpin' and a screaming around
Tryin to get a line and get the teepee down
Railroad owner's 'bout to go insane
Tryin' to get the workers out the way of the train
Engineer blowing the whistle long and long
Can't stop the train, you got to let it roll on
ย
Alright
Come on, boys, you got to work out
Come on
There she is again over there by the record machine
Three times
Lookin' like a model on the cover of a magazine
Three more
Too damn hot to be a minute over 17, have mercy
She's in the mood, no need to break it
I got a chance, man, I'm gonna take it
If she'll dance, we might even make it
Come on, Queenie, let's shake it
Go, little Queenie
Go, go, go, little Queenie
Rock and roll, rock and roll, rock and roll
Go, little Queenie
Shake, rattle and roll, little Quennie
Rock and roll, rock and roll, rock and roll
Alright
We only got one thing to ask you, Boston?
Do you, do you like to rock?
Do you, do you, do you like to roll?
Do you like to have a good time
All night long?
Now put your hands where I can see 'em
Do you, do you like to rock?
Do you, do you, do you like to roll?
Do you like to have a good time
All night long?
Alright, folks in Massachusetts
One more
ย
You were a beautiful audience
Thank you all, goodnight
