Lyrics
There’s room for me, there’s room for you,
Plenty of room for the Rock Island crew.

CHORUS
Rock Island Line is a mighty good road,
Rock Island Line is the road to ride,
Rock Island Line is a mighty good road,
If you wanna ride it, gotta stride it like you’re flyin’.
Get your ticket at the station on the Rock Island Line.

Engine in front, caboose in the back,
Goes so fast ‘most leaves the track.

CHORUS

This train goes flyin’ on by, now this train,
This train goes flyin’ on by, now this train,
This train goes flyin’ on by,
Now whistle and smoke gonna fill the sky,
Now this train goes flyin’ on by, now this train.

Now the Rock Island Line, it is the road to ride,
Rock Island Line, it is a mighty good road,
If you wanna ride it, gotta stride it like you’re flyin’.
Get your ticket at the station for the Rock Island Line.
