Letra de Rock Island Line - Johnny Cash

Now this here's a story about the Rock Island Line

Well, the Rock Island Line, she runs down into New Orleans

There's a big tollgate down there, and you know

If you got certain things on board when you go through the tollgate

Well, you don't have to pay the man no toll

Well, a train driver, he pulled up to the tollgate

And the man hollered and asked him what all he had on board and said

I got livestock

I got livestock

I got cows

I got pigs

I got sheep

I got mules

I got all livestock

Well, he said, "You're alright, boy, you don't have to pay no toll

You can just go right on through," so he went on through the tollgate

And as he went through, he started picking up a little bit of speed

Picking up a little bit of steam

He got on through, he turned and looked back at the man he said

Well, I fooled you

I fooled you

I got pig iron

I got pig iron

I got all pig iron

Down the Rock Island Line, she's a mighty good road

Rock Island Line, it's the road to ride

Rock Island Line, it's a mighty good road

Well, if you ride it, you got to ride it like you find it

Get your ticket at the station for the Rock Island Line

Looked cloudy in the west and it looked like rain

'Round the curve come a passenger train

North bound train on a southbound track

He's alright a-leaving, but he won't be back

Well, the Rock Island Line, she's a mighty good road

Rock Island Line, it's the road to ride

Rock Island Line, it's a mighty good road

Well, if you ride it, you got to ride it like you find it

Get your ticket at the station for the Rock Island Line

Oh, I may be right and I may be wrong

But you're gonna miss me when I'm gone

Well, the engineer said before he died

That there were two more drinks that he'd like to try

Conductor said, "What could they be?"

A hot cup of coffee and a cold glass of tea

Well, the Rock Island Line, she's a mighty good road

Rock Island Line, it's the road to ride

Rock Island Line, it's a mighty good road

Well, if you ride it, you got to ride it like you find it

Get your ticket at the station for the Rock Island Line
