Georgia Satellites - Let It Rock Lyrics
(chuck berry)Well in the heat of day down in mobile, alabamaI'm workin' on the railroad with a steel drivin hammerI gotta get some money buy some brand new shoesGotta find somebody take away my bluesWell she don't love me when i'm singin' in the sunPayday's comin' when the work is all doneWell now late here in the evening when the sun is sinkin lowAll day i've been waitin' for that whistle to blowSitting in a teepee built right on here on the tracksRolling them bones until the foreman comes backPick up your belongings boys and scattere aboutWe've got an off shedule train comin two miles outEverybody's scrambling and a running aroundPicking up their money tearing the teepee downForeman wants to panic, bout to go insaneTrying to get the workers out the way of the trainEngineer blows the whistle loud and longCan't stop the train gotta let it roll on"bye bye johnny"Well now she drew out all of the money of southern trustAnd put her little johnny on a greybound busLeavin' louisiana for the golden westDrowned in the tears from her happinessHer own little son named johnny b goodeGonna make some motion pictures out in hollywoodI said bye, bye, bye, byeI said bye, bye, bye, byeBye bye johnny, goodbye johnny b goodeWell she remembers taking money after gathering cropsAnd buying johnny's guitar at the brokers shopAs long as he would play it by the railroad siteHe wouldn't get in trouble she was satisfiedWell she never knew there would come a day like thisWhen she'd have to give johnny a good bye kissI said bye, bye, bye, byeI said bye, bye, bye, byeBye bye johnny, goodbye johnny b goodeWell now she finally got the letter she'd been dreaming ofWhen johnny wrote and told her he had done fell in loveAs soon as he was married he'd bring her backAnd build a mansion for her by the railroad trckAnd every time you heard that locomotive roarShe'd be standing there waiting at the kitchen doorI said bye, bye, bye, byeI said bye, bye, bye, byeBye bye johnny, goodbye johnny b goode
