《The Rock Island Line》歌词

[00:00:00] Rock Island Line (Album Version) - Johnny Cash

[00:00:05] Now this here is the story about the Rock Island Line

[00:00:08] Well the Rock Island Line she runs down into New Orleans

[00:00:13] There's a big toll-gate down there

[00:00:14] And you know when you got certain things on board

[00:00:16] When you go through the toll-gate

[00:00:17] Well you don't have to pay the man no toll

[00:00:21] Well a traindriver he pulled up to the toll-gate

[00:00:23] And the man hollered nicely what all he had on board

[00:00:25] And he said

[00:00:27] I got live stock I got live stock

[00:00:31] I got cows I got pigs I got sheep

[00:00:34] I got mules I got all live stock

[00:00:41] Well they said you're all right boy

[00:00:43] You don't have to pay no toll

[00:00:44] You just go right on through

[00:00:47] So he went on through the toll-gate

[00:00:49] And as he went through

[00:00:50] He started pickin' up a little bit of speed

[00:00:54] Pickin' up a little bit of steam

[00:01:00] He got on through

[00:01:01] And he turned to look back at the man

[00:01:02] And he said

[00:01:05] Well I fooled you I fooled you

[00:01:07] I got pig iron I got pig iron

[00:01:09] I got all pig iron

[00:01:12] Down the Rock Island Line she's a might good road

[00:01:14] Rock Island Line it's the road to ride

[00:01:16] Rock Island Line is a mighty good road

[00:01:18] Well if you ride it

[00:01:19] You gotta ride it like you find it

[00:01:20] Get your ticket at the station for the Rock Island Line

[00:01:23] Oh cloudy in the west and it looks like rain

[00:01:25] Around the curve comes a passenger train

[00:01:27] Northbound train on a southbound track

[00:01:29] He's already leaving but he won't be back

[00:01:31] Well the Rock Island Line she's a might good road

[00:01:44] But you're gonna miss me when I'm gone

[00:01:48] Well the engineer said before he died

[00:01:49] There are two more drinks that he'd like to try

[00:01:52] The doctor said what could they be

[00:01:53] A hot cup of coffee and a cold glass of tea

[00:01:56] Well the Rock Island Line she's a might good road
