Railroad Bill, the title, this song here Railroad Bill, so mean and so bad He whupped his Mammy, shot a round at his Dad One morning, just before day Railroad Bill, he's standing on a hill A-rolling cigars out of a ten-dollar bill Oh, ride, ride, ride Railroad Bill, so mean and so bad He whupped his Mammy, shot a round at his Dad One morning, just before day February, one morning, the showers and rain Around the curve come a timely train Oh, ride, ride, ride If the bums going to bend the rail Ain't nobody for to tell the tale Oh, ride, ride, ride Railroad Bill is standing on the hill He'll never work, or he never will Oh, ride, ride, ride
