Lyrics

(Traditional)

Railroad bill we're gonna railroad bill
He never works and he never will
I'm gonna ride on a railroad bill
I'm gonna ride on a railroad bill

Railroad bill he was a mighty bad man
Kill anybody that he think he can
Gonna ride old railroad bill
Gonna ride old railroad bill

I'm singin' railroad bill
I'm talkin' railroad bill, uh-huh-huh
He never worked and he never will
I'm gonna ride on railroad bill, yeah
(C'mon) I'm gonna ride on railroad bill

Well old railroad bill he done stole my wife
I'm gonna check him down I'm gonna take his life
Gonna ride on railroad bill
Gonna ride railroad bill

I'm singin' railroad bill
On a railroad bill
He never worked and he never will
I'm gonna ride on railroad bill
I'm gonna ride on railroad bill

Railroad bill he was a mighty bad man
Kill anybody that he think he can
Gonna ride old railroad bill
Gonna ride railroad bill

I'm talkin' railroad bill
I love him railroad bill
Uh-huh-huh
He never worked and he never will
Gonna ride on railroad bill
Yeah, gonna ride on railroad bill

Well I'm goin up the mountain
Yes I'm goin' out west
I got a mighty big pistol
Stickin' out of my vest
Gonna ride old railroad bill
Gonna ride (alright)

Railroad bill, I love that railroad bill
Uh-huh-huh
He never works and he never will
I'm gonna ride on a railroad bill
