|
THE CHORUS IS THE ONLY PART SUNG. THE REST IS SPOKEN Now this here's the story about the Rock Island Line The Rock Island Line she runs down into New Orleasn And just outside of New Orleans is a big toll gate And all the trains that go through the toll gate They gotta pay the man some money But of course, if you got certain things on board You're okay and you don't have to pay the man nothin And just now we see a change comin down the line When you come up to the toll gate The driver, he shout down to the man I got pigs, I got horses, I got cows I got sheep, I got all livestock, I got all livestock I got all livestock The man say, you alright boy just Get on through, you don't have to pay me nothin And then the train go through And when he go through the tollgate The train gotta have a little bit of steam And a little bit of speed And when the driver think he safely on the other side He shouts back down the line to the man I fooled you, I fooled you I got pig iron, I got pig iron I got all pig iron, Now I'll tell you where I'm goin boy CHORUS: Down the rock island line is a mighty good road Oh the rock island line is the road to ride The rock island line is a mighty good road Well if you want to ride you gotta ride it like you find it Get your ticket at the station of the rock island line Well I may be right, I may be wrong You're gonna miss me when I'm gone CHORUS Hey you are safe within The good Lord's comin to see me again CHORUS ABC WXYZ The cats on the cover but he don't see me CHORUS (repeat once) | |
