[N] [Bb] In the heat of the day down in Mobile, Alabama,
Working on the [Gm] railroad with a steel driving [Eb] hammer.
I gotta get some money, buy some brand new [Bb] shoes,
Try to find somebody to take away these [F] blues.
She don't love me here and singing in the [Bb] sun,
Diddy coming when my work is all done.
[Eb]
[Bb] [F]
[Bb] Well, in the evening when the sun is sinking low,
All day I've been waiting for the whistle to [Eb] blow.
Sitting in a teepee, feels right on the [Bb] track,
Rolling them bones till the foreman comes [F] back.
He kept her belonging far and scattered about,
[Bb] We got an off schedule train coming two miles out.
[Eb]
[Bbm] [Bb]
[Eb] Everybody scrambling and jumping around,
Picking out [Bb] the money, tearing the teepee [Eb] down.
The foreman was a panic about to go [Bb] insane,
Trying to get [Eb] the workers out the way of the train.
Engineers blowing the whistle [Bb] long and long,
Can't stop [Gm] the train, he has to let it roll on.
[Bb]
[Eb] Well, [Bb]
in the evening when the sun is sinking low,
All day I've been waiting for the whistle to blow.
[Eb] Sitting in a teepee, feels right on the track,
[Bb] Rolling them bones till the foreman comes back.
[F] He kept her belonging far and scattered about,
We [Bb] got an off schedule train coming two miles out.
