Georgia Satellites - Let It Rock (Bye Bye Johnny) Lyrics
(chuck berry)Well in the heat of day down in mobile, alabamaIm 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 dont love me when Im singin in the sunPaydays comin when the work is all doneWell now late here in the evening when the sun is sinkin lowAll day Ive 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 aboutWeve got an off shedule train comin two miles outEverybodys 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 longCant 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 johnnys guitar at the brokers shopAs long as he would play it by the railroad siteHe wouldnt get in trouble she was satisfiedWell she never knew there would come a day like thisWhen shed 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 shed been dreaming ofWhen johnny wrote and told her he had done fell in loveAs soon as he was married hed bring her backAnd build a mansion for her by the railroad trckAnd every time you heard that locomotive roarShed be standing there waiting at the kitchen doorI said bye, bye, bye, byeI said bye, bye, bye, byeBye bye johnny, goodbye johnny b goode
