Rock Island Line

Rock Island Line - Bobby Darin

Now this here's a story about the Rock Island Line

The Rock Island Line she runs down to New Orleans

Just outside New Orleans there's a big

Ol' tollgate And all the trains that go through the tollgate

Why they have to pay the man some money But of course

If you have certain things on board you okay

You don't have to pay the man nothing

Just now we see a train She's coming down the line

When she come up near the tollgate why the driver

He shout down to the man

I got pigs I got horses

I got cows I got sheep

I got ol' livestock I got ol' live stock

I've got ol' live stock

The man says "Well you alright boy

Get on through You don't pay me nothing "

The train go through

And when he go through the tollgate why

The train get up a little bit of

Steam and a little bit of speed

The driver thinks he's safely on the other side

He shout back down the line to the man He said

I fooled you I fooled you

I got the pig iron I got the pig iron

I got the ol' pig iron

I tell ya' where I'm goin' boy
