Перевод песни Jeff Lynne - Let it rock

In the heat of the day down in Mobile, Alabama
Working on the railroad with the steel-driving hammer
I gotta get some money, buy some brand new shoes
Tryin’ to find somebody, take away these blues
She don’t love me and I’m singing in the sun
Payday coming when my work is all done

Well, 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 tracks
Rolling them bones ’til the foreman come back
Pick up your belongings boys and scatter about
We got an off-schedule train comin’ two miles out

Everybody’s scrambling and a-jumpin’ around
Picking up their money, tearing the teepee down
The foreman wants to panic, ’bout to go insane
Trying to get the workers out the way of the train
Engineer’s blowing the whistle loud and long
Can’t stop the train, they have to let it roll on
