This is a song about the
Rock Island Line
Railroad.
It used to run down into New Orleans
and if you had certain things on board,
you didn't have to pay any toll.
So this train driver pulls up
and the tow man asks him what
all he had on board.
He says, I got livestock, I got livestock,
I got pigs, I got cows,
I got sheep, I got mules,
I got old livestock.
He says, well, you're all right,
brother,
you can go right on through,
you don't have to pay any toll.
So the train driver hollers
back to his fireman
and tells him to throw on some more coal.
They start to pickin' up
a little bit of speed
Pickin' up a little more steam
Train driver sticks his head out the window
And he hollers back, he says
Well, I fooled you, I fooled you
I got pig -eye, I got pig -eye
I got old pig -eye
And the Rock Island Line,
she's a mighty good road
