Georgia Satellites - Let It Rock текст песни

(chuck berry)

Well in the heat of day down in mobile, alabama

Im workin on the railroad with a steel drivin hammer

I gotta get some money buy some brand new shoes

Gotta find somebody take away my blues

Well she dont love me when Im singin in the sun

Paydays comin when the work is all done

Well now late here in the evening when the sun is sinkin low

All day Ive been waitin for that whistle to blow

Sitting in a teepee built right on here on the tracks

Rolling them bones until the foreman comes back

Pick up your belongings boys and scattere about

Weve got an off shedule train comin two miles out

Everybodys scrambling and a running 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 loud and long

Cant stop the train gotta let it roll on

"bye bye johnny"

Well now she drew out all of the money of southern trust

And put her little johnny on a greybound bus

Leavin louisiana for the golden west

Drowned in the tears from her happiness

Her own little son named johnny b goode

Gonna make some motion pictures out in hollywood

I said bye, bye, bye, bye

I said bye, bye, bye, bye

Bye bye johnny, goodbye johnny b goode

Well she remembers taking money after gathering crops

And buying johnnys guitar at the brokers shop

As long as he would play it by the railroad site

He wouldnt get in trouble she was satisfied

Well she never knew there would come a day like this

When shed have to give johnny a good bye kiss

I said bye, bye, bye, bye

I said bye, bye, bye, bye

Bye bye johnny, goodbye johnny b goode

Well now she finally got the letter shed been dreaming of

When johnny wrote and told her he had done fell in love

As soon as he was married hed bring her back

And build a mansion for her by the railroad trck

And every time you heard that locomotive roar

Shed be standing there waiting at the kitchen door

I said bye, bye, bye, bye

I said bye, bye, bye, bye

Bye bye johnny, goodbye johnny b goode
