 C
Railroad Bill, he ain't so bad,
 E                        F
killed his mommy, shot a round in
his dad around with?
 C        G        C
Ride old Railroad Bill.

Railroad Bill took my wife.
If I'd said a word, he'd have taken my life
Ride old Railroad Bill.

Railroad Bill he was comin' down the hill
Lightin' cigars with a ten-dollar bill
Ride old Railroad Bill

Ten policemen, all dressed in black,
coming out of nowhere, walking down the tracks,
and they're looking for Railroad Bill

Railroad Bill, comin' round the bend fence?
Robbin' a passenger train for 16 cents
I'm gonna ride old Railroad Bill

Railroad Bill got in a gamblin' game
shot a man down, though he was to blame
when you lose your mind, let it turn loose

He's down in a jailhouse singin' railer's blues
Same old pants on your passenger shoes
When you lose your mind, let it loose

Railroad Bill he's a mighty bad man
Shot the lantern from a brakeman's hand
Just to see that man suffer pain.
