| Rail-road Bill, Rail-road Bill
|
| He never worked, and he never will
|
| And it’s ride, ride, ride
|
| Rail-road Bill’s a mighty mean man
|
| Shot the light out of the poor brake-man's hand
|
| Rail-road Bill, up on a hill
|
| Lighting a cigar with a ten-dollar bill
|
| Rail-road Bill took my wife
|
| If I didn’t like it, going to take my life
|
| Going on a mountain, going out west
|
| Thirty-eight special sticking out of my vest
|
| Buy me a pistol just as long as my arm
|
| Shoot everybody ever done me harm
|
| Got a thirty-special in a forty-five frame
|
| I can’t miss 'cause I got dead aim
|
| Rail-road Bill, he ain’t so bad
|
| Whipped his mama, shot his old dad
|
| Early one morning, standing in the rain
|
| Round the bend come a long freight train
|
| Rail-road Bill a-coming home soon
|
| Killed McMillan by the light of the moon
|
| McMillan had a special train
|
| When they got there they was praying
|
| Kill me a chicken, send me the wing
|
| They think I’m working, Lord, I ain’t doing a thing
|
| Kill me a chicken, send me the head
|
| Think I’m working, Lord, I’m laying in bed
|
| Going to drink my whiskey, drink it in the wind
|
| The doctor said it’d kill me but he didn’t say when |
