Rock Island Line
Huddie Ledbetter

Now this here's a story about the Rock Island LinenWell the Rock Island Line she runs down into New OrleansnThere's a big tollgate down there and you knownIf you got certain things on board when you go through the tollgatennWell you don't have to pay the man no tollnWell a train driver he pulled up to the tollgatenAnd a man hollered and asked him what all he had on board and saidnI got livestock I got livestock I got cows I got pigs I got sheepnnI got mules I got all livestocknWell he said you're all right boy you don't have to pay no tollnYou can just go right on through so he went on through the toolgatenAnd as he went through he started pickin' up a little bit of speednnPickin' up a little bit of steamnHe got on through he turned and looked back at the man he saidnWell I fooled you I fooled you I got pigiron I got pigiron I got old nPig ironnnDown the Rock Island Line she's a mighty good roadnRock Island Line it's a road to ridenRock Island Line it's a mighty good roadnWell if you ride you got to ride it like you finally get your ticket nnAt the station for the Rock Island LinennLooked cloudy in the west and it looked like rainnRound the curve came a passenger trainnNorth bound train on the southbound track nHe's alright a leavin' but he won't be backnnWell the Rock Island Line she's a mighty good roadnRock Island Line it's a road to ridenRock Island Line it's a mighty good roadnWell if you ride you got to ride it nLike you finally get your ticket nAt the station for the Rock Island LinennOh I may be right and I may be wrong nBut you gonna miss me when I'm gonenWell the engineer said before he diednThere were two more drinks that he'd like to trynThe conductor said what could they be nA hot cup of coffee and a cold glass of teannWell the Rock Island Line she's a mighty good roadnRock Island Line it's a road to ridenRock Island Line it's a mighty good roadnWell if you ride you got to ride it nLike you finally get your ticket nAt the station for the Rock Island Line
