Railroad Bill

Traditional

Key <C>

Railroad Bill, Railroad Bill

He never worked and he never will

And it’s ride, ride, ride

Railroad Bill was a mighty mean man

Shot the lantern out the brakeman’ hand

Railroad Bill, Railroad Bill,

He lives up on railroad hill

Railroad Bill took my wife

Said if you don’t like it he’ll take my life

Railroad Bill, Railroad Bill,

You don’t love him your sister will

Railroad Bill sitting on a hill

Lighting cigars with a twenty dollar bill

Railroad Bill he ain’t so bad

Took all the money the rich folks had
