Rock Island Line Lyrics
Rock Island Line
[BOBBY]Now this here's the story about the Rock Island line
Just now, we see a train coming down the line
And when the train come up near the toll gate
While the driver, he shouts 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"
So the man shouts up to the driver
"Well, you're alright, son
You don't gotta pay me nothing
You can just go on through"
So the train goes through the toll gate
And then the driver, he shouts back down the line to the man
He said, "I fooled you, I fooled you
I got the pig iron, I got the pig iron
I got the old pig iron"
Well, I'll tell you where I'm going, boy
Oh, the Rock Island line, it's a mighty good road
Rock Island line, it's the road to ride
Rock Island line, it's a mighty good road
And if you want to ride it, gotta ride it like you find it
Get your ticket at the station for the Rock Island line
Woo, woo
Pigs
Rock Island line, ooh
