Rock Island Line Lyrics - Johnny Horton

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
