Lyrics for Railroad Bill
Railroad Bill Railroad Bill He never worked and he never will I'm going to ride Railroad Bill Well Railroad Bill was a mighty mean man Shot the light out the brakeman's hand I'm going to ride that bad Railroad Bill Well Miss MacMillan She whooped and she squalled That's my husband for I heard him fall I'm going to ride that bad Railroad Bill Well I went down on number one Railroad Bill had just begun I'm going to ride Railroad Bill Well I came back on number two Railroad Bill had just got through I'm going to ride Railroad Bill Well I went down on number four Someone let fly with a .44 I'm going to ride Railroad Bill Got a .38 special in a .45 frame I ain't going to miss 'cause I've got dead aim I'm going to ride bad Railroad Bill Well Railroad Bill rolling down a hill Lighting cigars with a ten dollar bill I'm going to ride bad Railroad Bill Well Railroad Bill Says before I die Want to build a railroad for the bums to ride I'm going to ride that bad Railroad Bill
