Rock Island Line |
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 |
