Railroad Bill, Railroad Bill
He never worked, and he never will
And it's ride, ride, ride

Railroad Bill he was a mighty mean man
He shot the midnight lantern out of the brakeman's hand
And it's ride, ride, ride

Railroad Bill you know he took my wife
Said if I didn't like it, he would take my life
I'm gonna ride, ride, ride

Goin' up the mountain, goin' out west
.38 Spec a-stickin' out of my vest
I’m gonna ride, ride, ride

Buy me a pistol just as long as my arm
And shoot anybody who does me any harm
I’m gonna ride, ride, ride

Railroad Bill, Railroad Bill
He never worked, and he never will
Ride, ride, ride

Honey honey, honey think that I'm a fool
Think I would quit you when the weather is cool
Ride, ride, ride
