Now this here's a story about the Rock Island Line
Rock Island Line, she runs down to New Orleans
Just outside the New Orleans there's a big ol' tollgate
And all the trains that go through the tollgate
Why, they gotta pay the man some money
But of course, if you got certain things on board, you're okay
You don't have to pay the man nothing
Just now we see a train. She's coming down the line
When she come up near the tollgate, why the driver
He shout down to the man


I got pigs
I got horses
I got cows
I got sheep
I got all live stock
I got all live stock
I got all live stock


The man says, "Well, you're alright, boy. Just get on through.
You don't have to pay me nothing."
The train go through.
And when he get through the tollgate, why, the train get up a little bit of steam and a little bit of speed
The driver thinks he's safely on the other side, he shout back down the line to the man


He said,
I fooled you!
I fooled you!
I got a pig iron
I got a pig iron
I got a old pig iron


Now I tell ya' where I'm goin', boy
