Lonnie Donegan And His Skiffle Group
Rock Island Line

Now this here's a story about the rock island line
Well the rock island line, she runs down into New Orleans
There's a big tollgate down there
and you know if you got certain things on board when you go through the tollgate,
well you don't have to pay the man no toll.

Well the train driver, he pulled up to the tollgate
and the man hollered and asked him what he all had on board and he said,
I got livestock, I got livestock,
I got cows, I got pigs, I sheep, I got mules, I got all live stock
Well he said you're all right boy, you don't hafta pay no toll,
you can just go right on through so,
he went on through the tollgate
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 and he turned looked back at the man, he said
Well I fooled you, I fooled you, I got pig iron, I got pig iron, I got all pig iron

Now the rock island line shes a mighty good road
rock island line it's the road to ride
rock island line shes a mighty good road
Well if you ride it you gotta ride it like you find it
get your ticket at the station for the rock island line

Whoa it's cloudy in the west and it looks like rain,
'round the curve come passenger train
North bound train on a south boud track,
he's all right a'leavin', but he won't be back

Well the rock island line shes a mighty good road
the rock island line it's the road to ride
the rock island line shes a mighty good road
Well if you ride it you gotta ride it like you find it
get your ticket at the station for the rock island line

Whoa I may be right and I may be wrong,
but you're gonna miss me when I'm gone

Well the engineer said before he died,
there were two more drinks that he'd like to try
The doctor said what could they be?
A hot cup of coffee and a cold glass of tea

Well rock island line she's a mighty good road
rock island line it's the road to ride
rock island line shes a mighty good road
Well if you ride it you gotta ride it like you find it
get your ticket at the station for the rock island line

rock island line it's the road to ride
Well rock island line she's a mighty good road
