Lyrics
1. I’m going to Rocky Island,
Yo hum dilly-i-o,
Going to Rocky Island,
I’m going there to stay.
Refrain
See my candy darling,
Yo hum dilly-i-o,
See my candy darling,
On a long summer day.
2. See that train a-coming…
… Oh, don’t you hear it blow? Refrain
3. Catch my horse and I’ll ride him…
… On a long summer day. Refrain
4. Ride him to Rocky Island…
…On a long summer day. Refrain
