Lyrics
(Folk song)
Refrain
Oh the Rock Island Line is a mighty good road,
Oh the Rock Island Line is that road to ride,
Oh the Rock Island Line is a mighty good road
And if you want to ride it, got to ride it like you find it,
Get your ticket at the station on the Rock Island Line.
1. A, B, C, W, X, Y and Z
Cats in the cupboard, but they don’t see me! Refrain
2. I may be right and I may be wrong,
You are going to miss me when I’m gone! Refrain
