Railroad Bill lyrics

Well, Railroad Bill ol' Railroad Bill
He never worked and he never will
I'm gonna ride ol’ Railroad Bill

He shot the light out of the brakeman's hand
I'm gonna ride that bad Railroad Bill

Well, Ms. McMillan
She whooped and she squawked
“That’s my husband before I heard him fall”
I'm gonna ride that bad Railroad Bill

Well I went down on number one
Railroad Bill had just begun
I'm gonna ride ol' Railroad Bill

Well I came back on number two
Railroad Bill had just got through
I'm gonna ride ol' Railroad Bill

Well I went down on number four
Someone let fly with a .44
I'm gonna ride ol' Railroad Bill

I got a 38 special and a 45 frame
I ain’t gonna miss ‘cause I got dead aim
I'm gonna ride ol' Railroad Bill

Well Railroad Bill rode downhill
Linin' the seagulls with a ten-dollar bill
I'm gonna ride ol' Railroad Bill

Well Railroad Bill says ‘before I die
I’m gonna build a railroad for the bums to ride’
I'm gonna ride ol' Railroad Bill

Done.
Whooo!
Swish
WHOOO!
