Railroad Bill

1 3maj 4
Railroad Bill Railroad Bill he doesn’t work and he never will
1 5 1
And it’s ride ride ride ride
 

Buy me a chicken send me a wing
It’ll look like I’ve been working but I ain’t done a thing
And it’s ride ride ride ride

Railroad Bill was a mighty mean man
He shot the midnight lantern out of the brakeman’s hand
Ride ride ride ride

I’m going up a mountain I’m going out west
Got a forty four pistol sticking out my vest
And it’s ride ride ride ride

Railroad Bill well he took my wife
Said if I don’t like it he would take my life
And it’s ride ride ride ride

Railroad Bill Railroad Bill
Rollin’ up a cigar with a ten dollar bill
Ride ride ride ride

I’m gonna find me a pistol as long as my arm
I’ll kill everybody thats ever done me harm
Ride ride ride ride

And it’s ride ride ride ride
