Johnny Horton - Rock Island Line lyrics

Now this here's the story about the Rock Island Line Now the Rock Island Line she run down into New Orleans Just before you get into New Orleans why they got a big toll gate Where you gotta pay the man just so much Course,if you got certain things on board you're okay You don't have to pay the man nothin Right now we see a train she pull into the station The man he stick his head out the window And he yelled down at 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, boy you okay You go on through, you don't have to pay nothin' So the man he go on through The train get on down away from the station a little bit why he started pickin'up a little bit of steam He started pickin' up a little bit of speed The driver think he safely out of sight of the man so he stick his head out of the window And he yelled back down the line at the man Well, I fooled you, I fooled you I got pig iron, I got pig iron I got all pig iron, (Hey, Hey) Now I'll tell you where I'm goin' boy Down the Rock Island Line she's a mighty good road The Rock Island Line is the road to ride The Rock Island Line she's a mighty good road If you ride you gotta ride her like you find her Get your ticket at the station for the Rock Island Line ABC WXYZ The cat'son the cover but he don't see me Down the Rock Island Lineshe's a mighty good road The Rock Island Line is the road to ride The Rock Island Line she's a mighty good road If you ride you gotta ride her like you find her Get your ticket at the station for the Rock Island Line Well I may be right, I maybe wrong You're gonna miss me when I'm gone Down the Rock Island Line she's a mighty good road The Rock Island Line is the road to ride The Rock Island Line she's a mighty good road If you ride you gotta ride her like you find her Get your ticket at the station for the Rock Island Line Down the Rock Island Line she's a mighty good road The Rock Island Line is the road to ride The Rock Island Line she's a mighty good road If you ride you gotta ride her like you find her Get your ticket at the station for the Rock Island Line
