The Rock Island Line Lyrics
Rock Island Line (石岛线路) - Lonnie Donegan
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
So he say a
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
I fooled you I fooled you
I got pig iron I got pig iron
I got all pig iron
He said tell you where I'm goin' boy
Goin' down the Rock Island line yes yes
She's a mighty good road
Oh well the Rock Island line
