Railroad Bill, Railroad Bill
You never worked and you never will
Ride, ride, ride

Railroad Bill, he's a mighty mean man
He shot that lantern right out of that brakeman's hand
Ride, ride, ride

Early one mornin', standin' in the rain
Down the curve come a long freight train
He's gonna ride, ride, ride

Two policemen, dressed in blue
Walkin' down the street two by two
Lookin' for Railroad Bill

Gonna buy me a pistol, as long as your arm
Gonna shoot everybody ever done me harm
Ride, ride, ride

You can kill mе a chicken, send me thе wing
I think I'm workin' boys, I ain't doin' a thing
Ride, ride, ride

Railroad Bill, sittin' on a hill
Lightin' his cigars with a 10 dollar bill
Ride, ride, ride
And it's ride, ride, ride
