Railroad Bill, Railroad Bill He never worked, and he never will, And it's ride, ride, ride. Railroad Bill's a mighty mean man Shot the light out of the poor brakeman's hand Railroad Bill, up on a hill Lightin' a cigar with a ten-dollar bill. Railroad Bill took my wife, If I didn't like it, gonna take my life. Goin' on a mountain, goin' out west Thirty-eight special stickin' out of my vest. Buy me a pistol just as long as my arm Shoot everybody ever done me harm. Got a thirty-special in a forty-five frame, I can't miss 'cause I got dead aim. Railroad Bill, he ain't so bad Whupped his mama, shot his old dad. Early one morning, standing in the rain Round the bend come a long freight train. Railroad Bill a comin' home soon Killed McMillan by the light of the moon McMillan had a special train When they got there they was prayin' Kill me a chicken, send me the wing They think I'm workin', Lord, I ain't doin' a thing. Kill me a chicken, send me the head, Think I'm workin', Lord, I'm layin' in bed. Gonna drink my whiskey, drink it in the wind The doctor said it'd kill me but he didn't say when.
