Railroad Bill, Railroad Bill
Never worked and he never will
I'm going to ride Railroad Bill

Well Railroad Bill was a mighty mean man
Shot the light out of the brakeman's hand
I'm going to ride that bad Railroad Bill

Well Miss MacMillan she whooped and she squalled
That's my husband for I heard him fall
I'm going to ride that bad Railroad Bill

Well I went down on number one
Railroad Bill had just begun
I'm going to ride Railroad Bill

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

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

Got a .38 special in a .45 frame
I ain't going to miss cause I've got dead aim
I'm going to ride bad Railroad Bill
Well Railroad Bill rolling down a hill
Lighting cigars with a ten dollar bill
I'm going to ride bad Railroad Bill

Well Railroad Bill says before I die
Want to build a railroad for the bums to ride
I'm going to ride that bad Railroad Bill
