Key: A major•
Verse 1
about the Rock Island Line.
Now the Rock Island Line,
she runs down into New Orleans.
And just outside New Orleans,
there's a great big toll gate.
And all the trains that
go through the toll gate
gotta pay some money.
But of course,
if you have certain things on board,
you don't have to pay nothing.
And now we see a train
coming down the line,
and the driver of the train
shouts down at the man at the toll gate.
And this is what he said
I got cows, I got horses,
I got pigs, I got sheep
I got old livestock, got old livestock,
got old livestock
And the man at the tollgate said
Well, you're right, boy,
let's get on through
You don't have to pay me nothing
And the man goes through
And he got a little bit of speed,
a little bit of steam
And he shot back down
to the guy at the tollgate
And this is what he said
I fooled you, I fooled you, I got the pig iron,
I the pig iron, I got old pig iron
Yeah, and I'll tell you where I'm goin',
boy
she's a mighty good road
E

at the station on the Rocklin' Line
I may be right, I may be wrong
Down the rocklin' line,
she's a mighty good road
she's a mighty good road
D
A
And if you want to ride, you gotta ride it
Hallelujah, I'm a free from sin
Down the rocklin' line,
she's a mighty good road
it's a mighty good road
D
A
And if you want to ride, you gotta ride it
Get at the station
A, B, C, double X, Y, Z
Down the Rock -A -Land line,
she's a mighty good thug
mighty good a road
