| Miscellaneous |
| Ridin' On The L&N |
| Around the bend in the L&N1 |
| They loaded it down with a lot of men |
| The whistle blow and through the switch2 |
| Nobody knew just-a which one switch |
| I’m ridin', ridin on the L&N |
| I ain’t jivin', ridin' on the L&N |
| Well a man named Quin on the L&N |
| Runnin'3 around on how she’s been |
| Train slowed down and the men jumped off |
| I wasn’t dead 'cause I heard him callin' |
| I’m ridin', ridin' on the L&N |
| I ain’t jivin', ridin' on the L&N |
| A man named Mose with a great big nose |
| Sleepin' on that pile of toes |
| The doctor came and he rang the bell |
| The palla alla4 get well, well, well |
| I’m ridin', ridin' on the L&N |
| I ain’t jivin', ridin' on the L&N |
| (Spoken: Walter Trout on guitar!) |
