Now this here is the story about the Rock Island LineWell, the Rock Island Line she runs down into New OrleansThere's a big toll-gate down thereAnd you know when you got certain things on boardWhen you go through the toll-gateWell, you don't have to pay the man no tollWell, a traindriver, he pulled up to the toll-gateAnd the man hollered nicely what all he had on boardAnd he said:I got live stock, I got live stockI got cows, I got pigs, I got sheepI got mules, I got all live stockWell, they said, you're all right boyYou don't have to pay no tollYou just go right on throughSo, he went on through the toll-gateAnd as he went through...He started pickin' up a little bit of speedPickin' up a little bit of steamHe got on through and he turned to look back at the manAnd he said:Well, I fooled you, I fooled youI got pig iron, I got pig ironI got all pig ironDown the Rock Island Line, she's a might good roadRock Island Line it's the road to rideRock Island Line is a mighty good roadWell if you ride it you gotta ride it like you find itGet your ticket at the station for the Rock Island LineOh, cloudy in the west and it looks like rainAround the curve comes a passenger trainNorthbound train on a southbound trackHe's already leaving, but he won't be backWell the Rock Island Line, she's a might good roadRock Island Line it's the road to rideRock Island Line is a mighty good roadWell if you ride it you gotta ride it like you find itGet your ticket at the station for the Rock Island LineOh, I may be right and I may be wrongBut you're gonna miss me when I'm goneWell the engineer said before he diedThere are two more drinks that he'd like to tryThe doctor said, what could they beA hot cup of coffee and a cold glass of teaWell the Rock Island Line, she's a might good roadRock Island Line it's the road to rideRock Island Line is a mighty good roadWell if you ride it you gotta ride it like you find itGet your ticket at the station for the Rock Island LineLetra Enviada por: Mattheus Pirovani Roriz Gonçalves
