[Bobby Darin - Rock Island Line lyrics]
Now this here's the story about the Rock Island Line
Rock Island Line she runs down into New Orleans
Just outside New Orleans there's a big old toll gate
And all the trains that go through the toll gate
Well, they have to pay man some money
But in cause you got certain things on board
You're okay
You don't have to pay the man nothing
Just now we see the train
She's coming down the line
When she comes up near toll gate
Well the driver, he shout out to the man
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 says
"Well, you all right boy
Just get on through
You have to pay me nothing"
Then train goes through
She goes through the toll gate
The train get up a little bit of steam
And a little bit of speed
When 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 a pig iron
I got a pig iron
I got a old pig iron
I'll tell you where I'm going, boy
On a Rock Island Line it's the very good road
Rock Island Line it's the road to ride
Rock Island Line it's a mighty good road
If you wanna ride it
You got to ride it like you find it
Get your ticket at the station
For the Rock Island Line
Well I may be right
And I may be wrong
You know you gonna miss me
When I'm gone
The Rock Island Line it's the very good road
Rock Island Line it's the road to ride
Rock Island Line it's a mighty good road
If you wanna ride it
You got to ride it like you find it
Get your ticket at the station
For the Rock Island Line
Hallelujah
I'm safe from sit
Well Good Lord comes out
For a see me again
On a Rock Island Line it's the very good road
Rock Island Line it's the road to ride
Rock Island Line it's a mighty good road
If you wanna ride it
You got to ride it like you find it
Get your ticket at the station
For the Rock Island Line

You got to ride it like you find it
