Lyrics

Cat's in the cupboard and she can't find me Oh the Rock Island Line is a mighty fine line Oh the Rock Island Line is the road to ride If you want to ride, you gotta ride it like you're flyin' Get your ticket at the station on the Rock Island Line Maybe I'm right, maybe I'm wrong Lawd you gonna miss me when I'm gone Oh the Rock Island Line is a mighty fine line Oh the Rock Island Line is the road to ride If you want to ride, you gotta ride it like you're flyin' Get your ticket at the station on the Rock Island Line Jesus died to save our sins Glory to God I'm gonna see Him again Oh the Rock Island Line is a mighty fine line Oh the Rock Island Line is the road to ride If you want to ride, you gotta ride it like you're flyin' Get your ticket at the station on the Rock Island Line Moses stood on the Red Sea shore Smothin' the water with a two-by-four Oh the Rock Island Line is a mighty fine line Oh the Rock Island Line is the road to ride If you want to ride, you gotta ride it like you're flyin' Get your ticket at the station on the Rock Island Line
