[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] The-a depot, he shout down to the driver
