Rock Island Line Songtext
von The Muddy Basin Ramblers

I say the rock island line (is a mighty good road)
I say the rock island line (is the road to ride)
I say the rock island line (is a mighty good road)
If you want to ride, you gotta ride it like you′re flyin'
Buy your ticket at the station on the rock island line

Well, the train left Tiptown at half past nine
It made it back to little rock at 849

I say the rock island line (is a mighty good road)
I say the rock island line (is the road to ride)
I say the rock island line (is a mighty good road)
If you want to ride, you gotta ride it like you′re flyin'
Buy your ticket at the station on the rock island line


Oh, ABC, double XYZ
Ride the Free China across the sea

I say the rock island line (is a mighty good road)
I say the rock island line (is the road to ride)
I say the rock island line (is a mighty good road)
If you want to ride, you gotta ride it like you're flyin′
Buy your ticket at the station on the rock island line

And I may be right, and I may be wrong
Lord, you′re gonna miss me when I'm gone

I say the rock island line (is a mighty good road)
I say the rock island line (is the road to ride)
I say the rock island line (is a mighty good road)
If you want to ride, you gotta ride it like you′re flyin'
Buy your ticket at the station on the rock island line
