Rock Island Line (Live)

The man only asked him what he had on board, and he said
"I got livestock, I got a livestock
I got cows, I got pigs, I got sheep, I got mules, I got all livestock"

Well, he said, "you're alright, boy
You don't have to pay no toll
You just go right on through"
So, he went on through the toll gate, and as he went through
He started picking up a little bit of speed
Picking up a little bit of steam
He got on through he turned a look back to the man, he said

"Well, I fooled you, I fooled you
I got pig iron, I got pig iron
I got all pig iron"

Down the Rock Island Line is a mighty good road
The Rock Island Line, it's the road to ride
The Rock Island Line, it's a mighty good road
Well, if you want to ride you gotta ride like you find it
Get your ticket at the station of the Rock Island Line

It was cloudy in the west, looked like rain,
But round the corner come-a passenger train.
North-bound train on the south-bound track,
You were all right a-leavin but you won't be back

Well, the Rock Island Line is a mighty good road
The Rock Island Line, it's the road to ride
The Rock Island Line, it's a mighty good road
Well, if you want to ride you gotta ride like you find it
Get your ticket at the station of the Rock Island Line

Well, the Rock Island Line is a mighty good road
The Rock Island Line, it's the road to ride
The Rock Island Line, it's a mighty good road
Well, if you want to ride you gotta ride like you find it
Get your ticket at the station of the Rock Island Line
