The Rock Island Line (Huddie Ledbetter "Lead Belly")


Oh the Rock Island Line is a mighty fine line
Oh the Rock Island Line is the road to ride
Oh the Rock Island Line is a mighty fine line
If you want to ride, you gotta ride it like you're flyin'
Get your ticket at the station on the Rock Island Line

A-B-C double X-Y-Z
Cat's in the cupboard and she cain't find me

Maybe I'm right, maybe I'm wrong
Lawd you gonna miss me when I'm gone

Jesus died to save our sins
Glory to God I'm gonna see Him again

Moses stood on the Red Sea shore
Smotin' the water with a two-by-four
