Lyrics Rock Island Line - Suzy Bogguss

Now this heres a story about the Rock Island Line
Now the Rock Island Lines runs down into New Orleans
And just outside New Orleans is a big toll gate
Now all the trains that go through the toll gate
They gotta pay the man some money
Now of course if you got certain things on board
Then you don't have to pay the man nothin
Just now we see a train she making it way down the line
When she gets come to the toll gate
The driver he shouts down to the man and he said
I got pigs I got horses I got cows I got sheep,
I got all live stock, I got all live stock I got all live stock
The man he said you're all right there you got alright through.
You dong have to pay me nothin
And the train goes through
And when the train go through the toll gate
The train gets up a little bit of speed
A little bit of speed
And when driver think he safely on the other side
He shouts back to the man, and he said
I fooled you I fooled you
I got pig iron I got pig iron I got all pig iron

The Rock Island Line shes a mighty good road
