In The Heat Of The Day Down In Mobile Alabama   Working on the railroad with the steel driving hammer   Gotta make some money to buy some brand new shoes   Tryin' to find somebody to take away these blues   "She don't love me" hear them singing in the sun   Payday's coming and my work is all done      Later in the evening when the sun is sinking low   All day I been waiting for the whistle to blow   Sitting in a teepee built right on the tracks   Rolling them bones until 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,'n'jumping around   Picking up their money, tearing the teepee down   Foreman wants to panic, 'bout to go insane   Trying to get the workers out the way of the train   Engineer blows the whistle long and long   Can't stop the train, gotta let it roll on
