Rock Island Line (Album Version) - Johnny Cash[00:00:00]
Now this here is the story about the Rock Island Line[00:00:05]
Well the Rock Island Line she runs down into New Orleans[00:00:08]
There's a big toll-gate down there[00:00:13]
And you know when you got certain things on board[00:00:14]
When you go through the toll-gate[00:00:16]
Well you don't have to pay the man no toll[00:00:17]
Well a traindriver he pulled up to the toll-gate[00:00:21]
And the man hollered nicely what all he had on board[00:00:23]
And he said[00:00:25]
I got live stock I got live stock[00:00:27]
I got cows I got pigs I got sheep[00:00:31]
I got mules I got all live stock[00:00:34]
Well they said you're all right boy[00:00:41]
You don't have to pay no toll[00:00:43]
You just go right on through[00:00:44]
So he went on through the toll-gate[00:00:47]
And as he went through[00:00:49]
He started pickin' up a little bit of speed[00:00:50]
Pickin' up a little bit of steam[00:00:54]
He got on through[00:01:00]
And he turned to look back at the man[00:01:01]
And he said[00:01:02]
Well I fooled you I fooled you[00:01:05]
I got pig iron I got pig iron[00:01:07]
I got all pig iron[00:01:09]
Down the Rock Island Line she's a might good road[00:01:12]
Rock Island Line it's the road to ride[00:01:14]
Rock Island Line is a mighty good road[00:01:16]
Well if you ride it[00:01:18]
You gotta ride it like you find it[00:01:19]
Get your ticket at the station for the Rock Island Line[00:01:20]
Oh cloudy in the west and it looks like rain[00:01:23]
Around the curve comes a passenger train[00:01:25]
Northbound train on a southbound track[00:01:27]
He's already leaving but he won't be back[00:01:29]
Well the Rock Island Line she's a might good road[00:01:31]
Rock Island Line it's the road to ride[00:01:33]
Rock Island Line is a mighty good road[00:01:35]
Well if you ride it[00:01:37]
You gotta ride it like you find it[00:01:38]
Get your ticket at the station for the Rock Island Line[00:01:39]
Oh I may be right and I may be wrong[00:01:42]
But you're gonna miss me when I'm gone[00:01:44]
Well the engineer said before he died[00:01:48]
There are two more drinks that he'd like to try[00:01:49]
The doctor said what could they be[00:01:52]
A hot cup of coffee and a cold glass of tea[00:01:53]
Well the Rock Island Line she's a might good road[00:01:56]
Rock Island Line it's the road to ride[00:01:57]
Rock Island Line is a mighty good road[00:01:59]
Well if you ride it[00:02:01]
You gotta ride it like you find it[00:02:02]
Get your ticket at the station[00:02:03]
For the Rock Island Line[00:02:04]
