Ramblin' Jack Elliott - Rock Island Line lyrics

That Rock Island train starts out in New Orleans Engineer, he's gonna talk to the depot agent with his whistle Here's what he's gonna tell him I got hogs, I got sheep I got cows, I got chicken I got horses, I got all live stock I got all live stock That man don't want to stop that train He's gonna throw that switch They got to roll out of their yards Rock Island train picking up speed Soon as that caboose get through the switch Engineer gonna talk back to that depot agent one more time with his whistle Here's what he gonna tell him Fooled you, I fooled you I got all pig iron, I got all pig iron The Rock Island Line, is a might good road Rock Island Line is the road to ride Rock Island Line is a mighty good road If you ride it you gotta ride it like you find it Get your ticket at the station on the Rock Island Line A, B, C, W, X, Y and Z Cats in the cupboard, but they don't see me! The Rock Island Line, is a might good road Rock Island Line is the road to ride Rock Island Line is a mighty good road If you ride it you gotta ride it like you find it Get your ticket at the station on the Rock Island Line Jesus died to save our sins, Lord the glory, Going to meet him again! The Rock Island Line, is a might good road Rock Island Line is the road to ride Rock Island Line is a mighty good road If you ride it you gotta ride it like you find it Get your ticket at the station on the Rock Island Line Rock Island Line Rock Island Line Rock Island Line
