Let It Rock
(专辑: Nine Tonight - 1981)
In the
heat of the
day, down in Mobile, Alabama Working on the
railroad with a
steel driving hammer Trying to get some money, get some brand new shoes Tryin to find a
lady, chase away my blues Hot and wasted sweating in the
sun 'cause I'm not a
foreman 'till my work is all done Later in the
evening when the
sun is sinking low I'll be out there waiting for the
whistle to blow Sitting in the
teepee smoking out on the
track Rolling them bones till my foreman get back Suddenly I
hear the
breakman up and shout There's a
non-stop train running just two miles out Everybody jumping and a
screaming around Tryin to get a
line an get the
teepee down Railroad owner's 'bout to go insane Trying to get the
workers out the
way of the
train Here come the
engineer honk his horn He got a
train you got to let it roll on Let it rock Let it rock Let it rock Let it rock Rock and roll all night long Long time ago in Missouri St. Louis Missouri Home of the
blues Birth of the
blues Little old Chuck Berry Chuck used to say: There she is again over there by the
record machine Three times Looking like a
model on the
cover of a
magazine Too damn cute to be a
minute over 13, I
believe that Meanwhile...Ol' Chuck he be thinking She's in the
mood, no need to break it I
got a
chance and Lord I'm gonna take it If she'll dance we might even make it Come on Queenie, let's shake it Little Queenie Go go go little Queenie Rock an roll rock an roll rock an roll go go go little Queenie Rock an roll rock an roll rock an roll Mr. Drew Abbott from Royal Oak, Michigan on guitar While I'm at it, Mr. Chris Campbell right here on bass from Plymouth, Michigan Charlie Martin on the
