Rock Island Line Lyrics - Ringo 2012 - Ringo Starr

Now, this here's the story about the Rock Island line 

Now, the Rock Island line is a railroad line 

And it runs down into New Orleasn 

And just outside of New Orleans is a big toll gate 

And all the trains that go through the toll gate 

Why, they gotta pay the man some money 

Less of course, they got certain things on board 

Then they okay, then they don't ever have to pay the man nothin' 

And right now, we see a train 

She's comin' on down the line 

And when she got up here to the toll gate 

The-a depot, he shout down to the driver 

He want to know what he got on board 

So he say a 

What you got on board there, boy 

And the driver, he sing right on back 

Down to the depot agent 

Tell him what he got on board 

The got a way of singing

I got sheep, I got cows 

I got horses, I got pigs 

I got all livestock 

I got all livestock 

I got all livestock 

And the man say, well, he say 

Your alright there, boy 

You don't have to pay me nothin' 

Just get 'em on through 

So the train go through the toll gate 

And as it go through 

It got up a little bit of steam 

And a, a little bit of speed 

And when he sees me 

On the other side of the toll gate 

They, the driver shout back 

Down the line to the man 

'Course you don't hear what he say now 

But home down the Rock Island line
