| lyric | 1. Railroad Bill, Railroad Bill,
he never worked and never will,
It’s ride, ride, ride.
2. Railroad Bill was a mighty bad man,
Shot the light out the brakeman’s hand.
3. Railroad Bill cut a mighty dash,
Shot MacMillan by a lightnin’ flash.
4. Mrs. MacMillan she whooped and squawled,
’That’s my husband, for I heard him fall.’
5. I went down on No. 1,
Railroad Bill hadjust begun.
6. I come back on No. 2,
Railroad Bill had just got through.
7. An’ just as I caught ol’ No. 4,
Somebody let fly with a 44.
8. I come back on No. 5,
Gonna git him dead or alive.
9. Railroad Bill was a mighty sport,
Shot all the buttons off the sheriff’s coat.
10. Railroad Bill, goin’ down the hill,
Lightin’ cigars with a ten-dollar bill.
11. Railroad Bill say, before he died,
He would build a railroad for the bums to ride.
Ride on, Railroad Bill. |
