[00:04.43]Now this here's the story about the Rock Island Line
[00:08.29]Well, the Rock Island Line she runs down into New Orleans
[00:12.39]There's a big toll-gate down there
[00:13.95]And you know when you got certain things on board
[00:15.79]When you go through the toll-gate
[00:17.60]Well, you don't have to pay the man no toll
[00:20.61]Well, a traindriver, he pulled up to the toll-gate
[00:22.95]And the man hollered nicely what all he had on board
[00:25.28]And he said
[00:26.82]"I got live stock, I got live stock
[00:30.88]I got cows, I got pigs, I got sheep
[00:33.60]I got mules, I got all live stock
[00:41.07]Well, they said, you're all right boy"
[00:43.12]You don't have to pay no toll
