Lyrics Rock Island Line

Now this here's a story 'bout the Rock Island Line

Well the Rock Island Line she runs down into New Orleans

There's a big tollgate down there and you know

If you got certain things on board

When you go through the tollgate

Well you don't have to pay the man no toll

Well a train driver he pulled up to the tollgate

And a man hollered and asked him what

All he had on board and he said

I got livestock

I got cows I got pigs

I got sheep I got mules

I got all live stock

Well he said you're alright boy you don't have to pay no toll

You can just go right on through so

He went on through the tollgate and as he went through

He started pickin' up a little bit of speed

Pickin' up a little bit of steam

He got on through he turned and looked back at the man he said

Well I fooled you

I fooled you

I got pigiron I got pigiron

I got old pigiron

Down the Rock Island Line she's a mighty good road

Rock Island Line it's the road to ride

Rock Island Line it's a mighty good road

Well if you ride it you got to ride it like you find it

Get your ticket at the station for the Rock Island Line

Looked cloudy in the west and it looked like rain

Round the curve came a passenger train

North bound train is southbound track

He's alright a leavin' but he won't be back

Well the Rock Island Line she's a mighty good road

Rock Island Line it's the road to ride

Rock Island Line it's a mighty good road

Well if you ride it you got to ride it like you find it

Get your ticket at the station for the Rock Island Line

Oh I may be right and I may be wrong

But you're gonna miss me when I'm gone

Well the engineer said before he died

There were two more drinks that he'd like to try

The conductor said what could they be?

A hot cup of coffee and a cold glass of tea

Well the Rock Island Line she's a mighty good road

Rock Island Line it's the road to ride

Rock Island Line it's a mighty good road

Well if you ride it you got to ride it like you find it

Get your ticket at the station for the Rock Island Line
