[Chorus]
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
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
Well, I may be right, I may be wrong
But, you're gonna miss-a me when I'm gone
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
