ROCK ISLAND LINE

(Huddie Ledbetter)





Now this here is the story about the Rock Island Line


Well, the Rock Island Line she runs down into New Orleans


There's a big toll-gate down there


And you know when you got certain things on board


When you go through the toll-gate


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


Well, a traindriver, he pulled up to the toll-gate


And the man hollered nicely what all he had on board


And he said:


I got live stock, I got live stock


I got cows, I got pigs, I got sheep


I got mules, I got all live stock


Well, they said, you're all right boy


You don't have to pay no toll


You just go right on through


So, he went on through the toll-gate


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 and he turned to look back at the man


And he said:


Well, I fooled you, I fooled you


I got pig iron, I got pig iron


I got all pig iron



Down the Rock Island Line, she's a might good road


Rock Island Line it's the road to ride


Rock Island Line is a mighty good road


Well if you ride it you gotta ride it like you find it


Get your ticket at the station for the Rock Island Line


Oh, cloudy in the west and it looks like rain


Around the curve comes a passenger train


Northbound train on a southbound track


He's already leaving, but he won't be back


Well the Rock Island Line, she's a might good road


Rock Island Line it's the road to ride


Rock Island Line is a mighty good road


Well if you ride it you gotta 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 are two more drinks that he'd like to try


The doctor said, what could they be


A hot cup of coffee and a cold glass of tea


Well the Rock Island Line, she's a might good road


Rock Island Line it's the road to ride


Rock Island Line is a mighty good road


Well if you ride it you gotta ride it like you find it


Get your ticket at the station for the Rock Island Line
