Now, this here's the story about the Rock Island line |
| [00:08.47] |
Now, the Rock Island line is a railroad line |
| [00:11.26] |
And it runs down into New Orleasn |
| [00:13.97] |
And just outside of New Orleans is a big toll gate |
| [00:17.91] |
And all the trains that go through the toll gate |
| [00:20.91] |
Why, they gotta pay the man some money |
| [00:23.85] |
Less of course, they got certain things on board |
| [00:25.04] |
Then they okay, then they don't ever have to pay the man nothin' |
| [00:28.60] |
And right now, we see a train |
| [00:29.91] |
She's comin' on down the line |
| [00:30.97] |
And when she got up here to the toll gate |
| [00:33.85] |
