Railroad Bill, Railroad Bill
Never worked and he never will
Ride, ride, ride
Early one mornin', standin' in the rain
Round the curve come a long freight train
Ride, ride, ride
Railroad Bill, he ain't so bad
Whooped his mammy, shot a round with his dad
Ride, ride, ride
Railroad Bill a-comin', a-comin' on soon
Killed his lady by the light of the moon
Ride, ride, ride
Railroad Bill, a mighty bad man
Shot that lantern right out of the breakman's hand
Ride, ride, ride
Kill me a chicken, send me the wing
They think I'm workin', I ain't doin' a thing
Ride, ride, ride
Kill me a chicken, send me the head
They think I'm workin', I'm layin' in bed
Ride, ride, ride
MacNellon had a special train
When he got there it was prayin'
Ride, ride, ride
I got a .38 special on a .45 frame
How can I miss when I got dead aim?
Ride, ride, ride
I got a great big pistol 'bout as long as your arm
I'm gonna kill everybody if they do me any harm
Ride, ride, ride
Gonna drink me my whiskey, gonna drink it in the wind
Doctor said it'd cure me, but he didn't say when
Ride, ride, ride
Railroad Bill, sittin' on a hill
Lighting a cigar with a ten dollar bill
Ride, ride, ride
Well, Railroad Bill, he got into wine
Now he goes off to France in his mind
Ride, ride, ride
