_ _ And just outside of New [E] Orleans is [D] a big toll gate.
_ And all the trains that go through the toll gate, boy, they got to pay the man some money.
_ Unless, of course, they got certain things on board, then the whole case, you don't ever
have to pay the man nothing. _
And right now we see a train, she's coming on down the line, and when she get up near
[E] the toll gate, the [D] depot agent shout down to the driver, he want to know what he got on board.
