The Rock Island Line is a mighty good road
The Rock Island Line is the road to ride
The Rock Island Line is a mighty good road
If you want to ride, you gotta ride it like you find it
Get your ticket at the station for the Rock Island Line
Well, it’s cloudy in the west and it looks like rain
Around the curve comes a passenger train
Northbound on a southbound track
He’ alright a-leavin’ but he won’t be back
The Rock Island Line is a mighty good line
The Rock Island Line is the road to ride
The Rock Island Line is a mighty good road
If you want to ride, you gotta ride it like you find it
Get your ticket at the station for the Rock Island Line
Well, I may be right, I may be wrong
But, you’re gonna miss-a me when I’m gone
The engineer said before he died
There were two more drinks that he’d like to try
Conductor said, “What could they be?”
A hot cup of chocolate and a cold glass of tea
The Rock Island Line is a mighty good road
The Rock Island Line is the road to ride
The Rock Island Line is a mighty good road
If you want to ride, you gotta ride it like you find it
Get your ticket at the station for the Rock Island Line
Well, I may be right, I may be wrong
But, you’re gonna miss me when I’m gone
Well, it’s cloudy in the west and it looks like rain
Around the curve comes a passenger train
The Rock Island Line is a mighty good road
The Rock Island Line is the road to ride
The Rock Island Line is a mighty good road
If you want to ride, you gotta ride it like you find it
Get your ticket at the station for the Rock Island Line
