Let It Rock (Live at Great American Music Hall, San Francisco, CA, February 27, 1975)
[Instrumental]
[Verse 1: Jerry Garcia]
Well, up in the evening in Mobile Alabama
Working on the railroad with the steel driving hammer
I 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
[Instrumental]
[Verse 2: Jerry Garcia]
Later in the evening when the sun is sinking low
All day I've been waiting for the whistle to blow
Sitting in a teepee built right on the track
Rolling them bones until the foreman comes back
Pick up your belongings, boys, and scatter about
We've got an off-schedule train comin' two miles out
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3: Jerry Garcia]
Everybody's scrambling and 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
Can't stop the train, gotta let it roll on
