Railroad Bill

Railroad Bill, Railroad Bill He never worked, and he never will, and it's ride, ride, ride. Railroad Bill, he ain't so bad, killed his momma, shot a round in his dad Ride old Railroad Bill. Railroad Bill done took my wife. If I'd said a word, he'd have taken my life And it’s Ride old Railroad Bill. Railroad Bill he was comin' down the hill Lightin' cigars with a ten-dollar bill Ride old Railroad Bill Ten policemen, all dressed in black, coming out of nowhere, walking down the tracks, and they're looking for Railroad Bill Railroad Bill, comin' round the fence Robbin' a passenger train for 16 cents I'm gonna ride old Railroad Bill Railroad Bill got in a gamblin' game shot a man down, though he was to blame when you lose your mind, just let it loose Railroad Bill he's a mighty bad man Shot the lantern from a brakeman's hand Just to see that man suffer pain. Got a great long pistol, 'bout as long as your arm, I'm gonna shoot everybody ever done me harm And it’s ride, Bill, ride. Got a .38 special on a .45 frame. How can I miss when I got dead aim Ride, ride, ride. Gonna drink my whiskey, gonna drink it in the wind The doctor said it'd kill me, but he didn't say when, And it’s ride Old Railroad Bill Going up on the mountain, going out west. Thirty eight special sticking out of my vest. Ride, ride Bill Ride. (I usually use this as the last verse.) Railroad Bill, Railroad Bill He never worked, and he never will, Ride, ride, ride.
