Rock Island Line - Dick Curless

作曲：Traditional

Now this here's the story of the rock island line

The rock island line she run down into new orleans

And just outside of new orleans they got a big tollgate

And all the trains that come through have to pay the man some money

Course if you got certain things on board

You don't have to pay the man nothin'

Just now we see a train comin' down the track

And the driver he shout down to the man and he say

I got sheep i got horses i got cows

I got pigs i got all livestock

I got all livestock i got all livestock

And the man he say well you all right you go on through

So the train pick a little bit of speed a little bit of steam

When the driver thinks he's safely on out of sight

He yelled back down the line to the man and say

I fooled you i fooled you i got pig iron

I got pig iron i got all pig iron

Now i tell you where i'm goin' boy

Down the rock island line she's a mighty good road

Rock island line she's the road to ride

Oh the rock island line is a mighty good road

Well if you want to ride you got to ride it

Like you finally get your ticket at the station on the rock island line

I may be right i may be wrong

You know you're gonna miss me when i'm gone

Down the rock island line she's a mighty good road

Rock island line she's the road to ride

Oh the rock island line is a mighty good road

Well if you want to ride you got to ride it

Like you finally get your ticket at the station on the rock island line

A b c w x y z

Cat's on the cover but he don't' see me

Down the rock island line she's a mighty good road

Rock island line she's the road to ride

Oh the rock island line is a mighty good road

Well if you want to ride you got to ride it

Like you finally get your ticket at the station on the rock island line
