Railroad Bill

Railroad Bill, Railroad Bill
 He never worked, and he never will,
 And it's ride, ride, ride.
 Railroad Bill's a mighty mean man
 Shot the light out of the poor brakeman's hand
 Railroad Bill, up on a hill
 Lightin' a cigar with a ten-dollar bill.
 Railroad Bill took my wife,
 If I didn't like it, gonna take my life.
 Goin' on a mountain, goin' out west
 Thirty-eight special stickin' 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.
 Railroad Bill, he ain't so bad
 Whupped his mama, shot his old dad.
 Early one morning, standing in the rain
 Round the bend come a long freight train.
 Railroad Bill a comin' home soon
 Killed McMillan by the light of the moon
 McMillan had a special train
 When they got there they was prayin'
 Kill me a chicken, send me the wing
 They think I'm workin', Lord, I ain't doin' a thing.
 Kill me a chicken, send me the head,
 Think I'm workin', Lord, I'm layin' in bed.
 Gonna drink my whiskey, drink it in the wind
 The doctor said it'd kill me but he didn't say when.
