lyrics

Railroad Bill, Railroad Bill
He doesn’t work and he never will
And its ride, ride, ride

Buy me a chicken, sell me a wing
Look like I am working but I ain’t done a thing
And its ride, ride, ride, ride

Railroad bill was a mighty mean man
Shot the midnight lantern out of the brakeman’s hand
Ride, ride, ride, ride

I’m goin’ up a mounting, going out west
Fourty four pistol, sticking out my vest
And its ride, ride, ride

Railroad bill well he took my wife
Said if I don’t like it, he will take my life
And its ride, ride, ride, ride, ride

Railroad bill, railroad bill
Rolling up a cigar, with a ten dollar bill
And its ride, ride, ride, ride

Gonna find me a pistol, long as my arm
Gonna kill everybody, that’s ever done me harm
And its ride, ride, ride
And its ride, ride, ride
