Rock Island Line

Clarence Wilson

[Verse 1]
Well, it's cloudy in the east, and it looks like rain
And I bought me a ticket for a railroad train
Pile on that water, shovel in the coal
Stick your head out the window, watch the Rock Island roll, roll

[Chorus]
Rock Island Line, it is a mighty good road
Rock Island Line, it is the road to ride
Rock Island Line, it is a mighty good road
Well, if you want to ride, you gotta ride it like you're flyin'
And get your ticket at the station for the Rock Island Line

[Verse 2]
Now, the 7:45 was always late
It arrived tonight about a quarter to eight
The conductor hollered as they cheered his name
"We're right on time but this is yesterday's train"

[Chorus]
Rock Island Line, it is a mighty good road
Rock Island Line, it is the road to ride
Rock Island Line, it is a mighty good road
Well, if you want to ride, you gotta ride it like you're flyin'
Get your ticket at the station for the Rock Island Line

[Verse 3]
Now, the engineer said, "Before I die
It's just two drinks that I've got to try"
The conductor hollered, "Hey! What can they be?"
"A cold hot chocolate and a warm ice tea"

[Chorus]
Oh, the Rock Island Line, it is a mighty good road
Rock Island Line, it is the road to ride
Rock Island Line, it is a mighty good road
Well, if you want to ride, you gotta ride it like you're flyin'
Get your ticket at the station for the Rock Island Line

[Verse 4]
Now, the eastbound train is on the westbound track
The westbound track was on the eastbound track
The conductor hollered, "Ain't that fine?
What a heck of a way to run a railroad line"

[Chorus]
Oh, the Rock Island Line, it is a mighty good road
Rock Island Line, it is the road to ride
Rock Island Line, it is a mighty good road
Well, if you want to ride, you gotta ride it like you're flyin'
Get your ticket at the station for the Rock Island Line
