Little Richard — Rock Island Line

[Chorus] The Rock Island Line is a mighty good road The Rock Island Line is the road to ride The Rock Island Line is a mighty good road If you want to ride, you gotta ride it like you find it Get your ticket at the station for the Rock Island Line [Verse 1] Well, it's cloudy in the west and it looks like rain Around the curve comes a passenger train Northbound on a southbound track He' alright a-leavin' but he won't be back [Chorus] The Rock Island Line is a mighty good line The Rock Island Line is the road to ride The Rock Island Line is a mighty good road If you want to ride, you gotta ride it like you find it Get your ticket at the station for the Rock Island Line [Post-Chorus] Well, I may be right, I may be wrong But, you're gonna miss-a me when I'm gone [Verse 2] The engineer said before he died There were two more drinks that he'd like to try Conductor said, "What could they be?" A hot cup of chocolate and a cold glass of tea [Chorus] The Rock Island Line is a mighty good road The Rock Island Line is the road to ride The Rock Island Line is a mighty good road If you want to ride, you gotta ride it like you find it Get your ticket at the station for the Rock Island Line [Pre-Chorus] Well, I may be right, I may be wrong But, you're gonna miss me when I'm gone Well, it's cloudy in the west and it looks like rain Around the curve comes a passenger train [Chorus] The Rock Island Line is a mighty good road The Rock Island Line is the road to ride The Rock Island Line is a mighty good road If you want to ride, you gotta ride it like you find it Get your ticket at the station for the Rock Island Line
