The Rock Island Line - Johnny Cash[00:00:00]
Now this here is the story[00:00:05]
About the Rock Island Line[00:00:06]
Well, the Rock Island Line[00:00:08]
She runs down into New Orleans[00:00:09]
There's a big toll-gate down there[00:00:12]
And you know when[00:00:13]
You got certain things on board[00:00:14]
When you go through the toll-gate[00:00:15]
Well, you don't have to pay the man no toll[00:00:17]
Well, a traindriver, he pulled up to the toll-gate[00:00:20]
And the man hollered nicely[00:00:22]
What all he had on board[00:00:23]
And he said[00:00:24]
"I got live stock, I got live stock[00:00:26]
I got cows, I got pigs, I got sheep[00:00:30]
I got mules, I got all live stock[00:00:32]
Well, they said, you're all right boy"[00:00:39]
You don't have to pay no toll[00:00:41]
You just go right on through[00:00:42]
So, he went on through the toll-gate[00:00:43]
And as he went through[00:00:47]
He started pickin' up a little bit of speed[00:00:48]
Pickin' up a little bit of steam[00:00:52]
He got on andthrough [00:00:58]
He turned to look back at the man[00:00:58]
And he said[00:00:59]
"Well, I fooled you, I fooled you[00:01:02]
I got pig iron, I got pig iron[00:01:04]
I got all pig iron[00:01:05]
Down the Rock Island Line[00:01:08]
She's a might good road"[00:01:09]
Rock Island Line it's the road to ride[00:01:10]
Rock Island Line is a mighty good road[00:01:12]
Well, if you ride it you gotta ride it like you find it[00:01:14]
Get your ticket at the station for the Rock Island Line[00:01:16]
Oh, cloudy in the west and it looks like rain[00:01:19]
Around the curve comes a passenger train[00:01:21]
Northbound train on a southbound track[00:01:23]
He's already leaving, but he won't be back[00:01:25]
Well, the Rock Island Line[00:01:27]
She's a might good road[00:01:28]
Rock Island Line it's the road to ride[00:01:29]

Well, if you ride it you gotta ride it like you find it[00:01:32]

Oh, I may be right and I may be wrong[00:01:38]
But you're gonna miss me when I'm gone[00:01:39]
Well, the engineer said before he died[00:01:43]
There are two more drinks that he'd like to try[00:01:44]
The doctor said, what could they be[00:01:47]
A hot cup of coffee and a cold glass of tea[00:01:48]
Well, the Rock Island Line, she's a might good road[00:01:50]
Rock Island Line it's the road to ride[00:01:52]
