[Verse 1]
Railroad Bill, Railroad Bill
He never worked and he never will
Bad Railroad Bill

[Verse 2]
Railroad Bill, Railroad Bill
Took everything that farmer had
Bad Railroad Bill

[Verse 3]
Railroad Bill had no wife
Always looking for somebody's wife
Then it's ride, ride, ride

[Verse 4]
Kill me a chicken
Send me the wing
They think I'm working
But I ain't done a thing
Ride, ride, ride

[Verse 5]
Railroad Bill
Mighty bad man
Shoot the lantern
Out of the brakeman's hand
Bad Railroad Bill

[Verse 6]
Railroad Bill
Desperate and bad
Took everything
That the poor women had
Then it's ride, ride, ride

[Verse 7]
Railroad Bill
Coming home soon
Killed Macmillan by the light of the moon
Then it's ride, ride, ride
[Verse 8]
Macmillan had a special train
When he got there it was spring
Ride, ride, ride

[Verse 9]
Two policeman, dressed in blue
Coming down the street in a two and two
Well, it's looking for Railroad Bill

[Verse 10]
Everybody told him he better turn back
Bill was going down the railroad track
Ride, ride, ride
Well, it's ride, ride, ride
Ride, ride, ride
