The Rolling Stones

[Verse 1]
In the heat of the day down in Mobile, Alabama
Working on the railroad with the steel driving hammer
I gotta get the money to buy some brand new shoes
Tryin' to find somebody take away these blues
"She don't love me" hear them singing in the sun
Payday's coming, and my work is all done

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]
Yeah, 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 'til the foreman come back
Now pick up your belongings that are scattered about
We've got an off-schedule train comin' two miles out

[Guitar Solo]
Woo! Yeah!

[Verse 3]
Yeah, everybody jumping, tryin' to scramble around
Picking up your money, tear the teepee down
The foreman was in a panic, 'bout to go insane
Trying to get the workers out the way of the train
Engineer blow the whistle loud and long
Can't stop the train, he had to let it roll on, roll on

[Guitar Solo]

Formed in London in 1962, The Rolling Stones led the “British Invasion” along with The Beatles and were so successful their influence can be seen in arguably every rock ‘n’ roll band that followed.

Three of the current members have been there since the band’s singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards, who write the majority of the band’s catalogue and also produced some albums as The Glimmer Twins; and drummer Charlie Watts. The fourth official member is guitarist Ronnie Wood, who has been there since 1975 (the keyboardist and bassist who play in studio and live are usually not listed). The Stones have released more than 20 studio albums, and even as age caught up on them, continued to be a huge attraction on the live circuit, with big stadium tours continuing through the 1990s, 2000s and into the 2010s.
