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
