Lyrics:
Railroad Bill we're gonna Railroad Bill
He never works and he never will
I'm gonna ride on a Railroad Bill
I'm gonna ride on a Railroad Bill
Ride, ride, ride.
Kill me a chicken, send me the wing,
You think I'm workin', I don't do a thing,
Ride, ride, ride.
Railroad Bill, Railroad Bill,
Live
falls
I never seemed to have a dime but I had myself a ball
Singing hi le hi lo he li le li lo I used to be a railroad bum but I'm not anymore
I walked
on the railroad.
Work all day long up and down the railroad tracks.
Workin' on the railroad.
I'm a God fearing man, and with many I stand,
Workin' on the railroad
I never seemed to have a dime but I had myself a ball.
Singing hi le hi lo he li le li lo
I used to be a railroad bum but I'm not anymore.
I walked
Say, you know it's alright
And if you've ever been downtown
You know what I'm talkin' 'bout
You know, he was a good time railroad, road
Good time
Down at the railroad station my suitcase settin' by my side
Got no high hopes of leaving I'm just watching the trains go by
Watching the trains go
I'll be lookin for that needle all night
There ain't gonna be no radial tires
Turnin' down the streets of gold
I'm goin down to the railroad tracks
Especially this one I'm writin'
About my daddy
Ridin' on the Cotton
Belt Cleveland County's where I long to be
I got onto Brinkley and every mile
I make is
packing my bags and I'm goin' home
So I'll walk by the railroad anytime , anytime
Walk by the railroad anytime
Tell my brother and sister
That
Railroad Bill we're gonna Railroad Bill
He never works and he never will
I'm gonna ride on a Railroad Bill
I'm gonna ride on a Railroad Bill
In the heat of the day, down in mobile, alabama
Workin' on the railroad with a steel drivin' hammer
Tryin' to get some money, get some brand new
(I'm goin' home)
Seven, that's the time we leave, at seven
I'll be waitin' up in Heaven
Countin' every mile of every railroad track
That takes me
Blue railroad train
I'm goin' down the railroad track
It makes me feel so doggone blue
To listen to that old smokestack
Drivers a-rollin' on
Leavin'
the field where I would play
Said the folks want new and faster transportation
It's just like me, I'll be obsolete one day
Oh, Railroad days
Railroad days
of that railroad track
I got little green weeds growing round my shack
I keep my money in a gunny sack
Well I'm never gonna be a millionaire
Just pass
To lay no more of that railroad track
I got little green weeds growing round my shack
I keep my money in a gunny sack
Well I'm never gonna be
Railroad she left me standing on a line
Railroad she's really leaving me this time
Leaving on the midnight train
Leaving never gonna come back
Baby, here I am
By the railroad track
Waiting for my baby
He's coming back
Coming back to me
On the 503
And I won't be long
No, I won't be
Baby, here I am
By the railroad track
Waiting for my baby
He's coming back
Coming back to me
On the 503
And I won't be long
No, I won't be
a woman gets the blues she hangs her little head and cries
But when a man gets the blues he grabs a train and rides
Every time I see that lonesome railroad
haystack
I'll be lookin' for that needle all night
There ain't gonna be no radial tires
Turnin' down the streets of gold
I'm goin' down to the railroad
guest
And I'm not as bad, as you might think I am
Though I've traveled here, or hobo'ed there
Rambled these states around
Blue railroad train,
Trouble in mind, I'm blue
But I won't be blue always,
'Cause that sun is gonna shine in my back door someday
Now all you men's the same
But now
