| Now this here’s a story about 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 said |
| I got livestock |
| 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 on a southbound track |
| He’s alright a leavin' but he won’t be back |
| 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 |
