Cisco Houston - Railroad Bill

Well, Railroad Bill, O Railroad Bill,
He never worked and he never will.
I'm gonna ride old Railroad Bill.

Well, O Railroad Bill, he was a mighty mean man,
He shot the midnight lantern out the brakeman's hand.
I'm gonna ride old Railroad Bill.

Well, I'm goin' up on a mountain', I'm goin' out West,
A .38 Special stickin' out of my vest.
I'm gonna ride old Railroad Bill.

I'll buy me a pistol just as long as my arm,
Kill everybody ever done me harm.
I'm gonna ride old Railroad Bill.


Well, Railroad Bill, O Railroad Bill,
He never worked, Lord, he never will.
I'm gonna ride old Railroad Bill.

I got a .38 Special on a .45 frame;
How in the world can I miss him when I got dead aim?
I'm gonna ride old Railroad Bill.

Well, Railroad Bill, well, he took my wife,
He said if I didn't like it he would take my life.
I'm gonna ride old Railroad Bill.

Well, honey, honey, do you think I'm a fool?
I wouldn't quit you when the weather is cool.
I'm gonna ride old Railroad Bill.
