The lyrics go

In the heat of the day down in Auburn Alabama
Working on the railroad with my steam driving hammer
Gotta get some money get some brand new shoes
Gotta get some money get rid of these blue .....


Everybody's leaping and jumping around
trying to get my money tryin' to put me down
went to see the foreman who is going insane
tryin ta get the workers out the way of the trains

When you here the whistle blowing long and loud
... ... ... ...

shoot I wanna play it tonight and I want the rest of the lyrics

(Sorry to post here - more people view here than the General Discussion" section)

LET IT ROCK lyrics YARDBIRDS THE

Let it Rock

In the evening of the day down in Mobile, Alabama,
Working on the railroad with the steel driving hammer.
Gotta get some money to buy some brand new shoes,
Gotta find somebody to lose these blues.
`She don`t love me` hear me singing in the sun,
She better leave me `til my work is all done.

In the evening of the day, when the sun is sinking low,
All day I been waiting for the whistle to blow.
Sitting in a teepee built out on the track,
Rolling bones `til the foreman comes back.
Pick up you belongings boys and scatter about,
We`ve got an off-schedule train comin` two miles out.

Everybody`s scrambling and running around,
Picking up their money, take the teepee down.
Foreman wants to panic, `bout to go insane,
Trying to get the workers out the way of the train.
Engineer blown his whistle loud and long,
He can`t stop the train, gotta let it roll on.

Let it Rock

In the heat of the day down in Mobile, Alabama,
Working on the railroad with the steel driving hammer.
Gotta get some money get some brand new shoes,
Gotta get some money get rid of these blues
`When ya see me out there early in the sun,
Gotta keep on rockin `til my working days done.

In the eve of the day, when the sun is sinking low,
All day I been waiting for the whistle to blow.
Sitting in a teepee built out on the track,
Rolling bones and gambling `til the foreman comes back.
Pick up yourbelongings boys and scatter about,
We`ve got an scheduled train comin` two miles out.

Everybody`s leaping and running around,
Picking up their money, take the teepee down.
Went to see the foreman who is going insane
Trying to get the workers out the way of the train.
Engineer blows his whistle long and loud
Gotta keep on rockin gotta let it roll on.
