Now this here's the story about the Rock Island line
The Rock Island line she runs down into New Orleans
Just outside of New Orleans
Big toll gate
And all the trains that go through the toll gate
They gotta pay the man some money
But of course if you got certain things on board
You're okay and you don't have pay the man
Nothin'

Just comin' down the line
When she come up to the toll gate
The driver he shout out to the man
He says I got pigs
I got horses
I got cows
I got sheep
I got all livestock
I got all livestock
I got all livestock
The man say well

Get on through
You don't have to pay me nothin'
And the train go through
And when he go through the toll gate
The train gotta have a little bit of steam
And a little bit of speed
And when the driver think he safely on the other
Side
He shouts back down the line to the man
He says
