Rock Island Line - Remastered
Now this here's a story about the Rock Island Line
Rock Island Line she runs down into New Orleans
Just outside New Orleans there's a big old tollgate
And all the trains that go through the tollgate, well, they gotta pay the man some money
But of course if you got certain things on board you okey
You don't have to pay the man nothin'
And just now we see a train, she's comin' down the Line
When she come up near the tollgate while the driver, he shot down the man
I got pigs
I got horses
I got cows
I got sheep
I got all live stock
I got all live stock
I got all live stock
The man says "Well, you're alright, boy. Just get on through"
"You don't have to pay me nothin'"
The train go through.
And when he get through the tollgate, why, the train get up a little bit of steam and a little bit of speed
The driver thinks he's safely on the other side, he shout back down the line to the man
He said "I fooled you"
I fooled you!
I got a pig iron
I got a pig iron
I got a old pig iron
Now I tell ya' where I'm goin', boy
On a Rock Island Line it's the very good road
Rock Island Line it's the road to ride
Rock Island Line it's a mighty good road
Well if you wanna ride it you got to ride it like you find it
Get your ticket at the station for the Rock Island Line
Woo-hoo-hoo, woo-hoo-hoo
Well I may be right, that I may be wrong
You know you wanna miss me when I'm gone
On a Rock Island Line it's the very good road

Rock Island Line it's a mighty good road
Well if you wanna ride it you got to ride it like you find it
