Rock Island Line
Well, now this here is a story about a rock island line
Rock island line, she runs down into New Orleans
Just outside of New Orleans, she got a big tollgate
And all the trains that pass through the tollgate
Why they've got to pay the man some money
But of course if you got certain things on board, you're okay
I mean you don't have to pay the man nothing
You can just get on through
Right now we got a train
She coming down the line
When the driver thinks he's close enough to the tollgate
He, he shouts to the man, he says
"I got pigs, I got cows
I got horses, I got sheep, I got all livestock
I got all livestock, all livestock"
Well, said the man you're okay
You don't have to pay me nothing
You can't just get on through
Well, the train it gets on through
Gets up a little bit of stream, a little bit of speed
When the driver he thinks he's safely on the other side
He shouts back to the man and says
"I fooled ya, I fooled ya
I got bigger room, I got bigger room
Oh, bigger room"
Well said the man, "I'm gonna give it to you boy"
Down rock island is a muddy good road
Rock island is a road to ride
Rock island is a muddy good line
On the ride, you got to ride it like you find it
Get your ticket at the station
On the rock island line
A, B, C, W, X, Y, Z
The cat's in the cover, but you don't see me
Down the rock island line is a muddy good road
Rock island line is a road to ride
Rock island line is a muddy good line
On the ride, you got to ride it like you find it
Get your ticket at the station
On the rock island line
I may be right, I may be wrong
Sure you're gonna miss me when I'm gone
Down the rock island line is a muddy good road
Rock island line is a road to ride
Rock island line is a muddy good line
On the ride, you got to ride it like you find it
Get your ticket at the station
