Oh, the Rock Is-land Line
It is a might-y good road
Oh, the Rock Is-land Line
It is the road to ride
The Rock Is-land Line
It is a might-y good road
Well if you want to ride you got to ride it
like you find it, get your tic-ket
At the sta-tion for the Rock Is-land Line
It's cloud-y in the west looks like rain
Bought me a tick-et on a rail-road train
Pour on the wat-er shov-el on the coal
Stick your head out the win-dow
See the driv-ers roll
Oh, well the Rock Is-land Line'
