Rock Island Line Written and recorded by Johnny Cash
C 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 G7 And you know if you got certain things onboard C 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 a man hollered and asked him
What all he had on board and he said
I got livestock I got livestock I got cows G7 C I got pigs I got sheep I got mules I got all livestock
Well he said you're all right 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 pickin' up a little bit of speed G7 Pickin' up a little bit of steam
C 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 G7 C I got pig-iron I got all pig-iron
Down the Rock Island Line she's a mighty good road G7 Rock Island Line it's a road to ride C Rock Island Line it's a mighty good road
Well if you ride you got to ride it
Like you finally get your ticket G7 C At the station for the Rock Island Line
Oh it's cloudy in the west and it looked like rain G7 C Round the curve come a passenger train G7 North bound train on the southbound track C G7 C He's alright a leavin' but he won't be back
Well the Rock Island Line she's a mighty good road G7 Rock Island Line it's a road to ride C Rock Island Line it's a mighty good road G7 C Well if you ride you got to ride it
like you finally get your ticket G7 C At the station for the Rock Island Line
Oh I may be right and I may be wrong G7 C But you gonna miss me when I'm gone
Well the engineer said before he died G7 C That there were two more drinks that he'd like to try G7 The conductor said what could they be C G7 C A hot cup of coffee and a cold glass of tea
Well the Rock Island Line she's a mighty good road G7 Rock Island Line it's a road to ride C Rock Island Line it's a mighty good road G7 C Well if you ride you got to ride it
like you finally get your ticket G7 C At the station for the Rock Island Line
