You just go right on through. So he went on through the tollgate And as he went through, he started pickin up a little bid of speed, Pickin up a little bit of steam; He got on through, and turned and looked back at the man and said, Well, I fooled you, I fooled you, I got pig iron, I got pig iron, I got all pig iron.
