Now this heres a story about the Rock Island Line Well the Rock Island Line she runs down into New Orleans Theres a big tollgate down there and you know If you got certain things on board when you go through the tollgate Well you dont 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 youre alright boy you dont 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
[Chorus] Down the Rock Island Line shes a mighty good road Rock Island Line its the road to ride Rock Island Line its 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 Hes alright a leavin but he wont be back
[Chorus]
Oh I may be right and I may be wrong But youre gonna miss me when Im gone Well the engineer said before he died There were two more drinks that hed like to try The conductor said what could they be A hot cup of coffee and a cold glass of tea
