Railroad Bill

Andrew Bird - Railroad Bill

.

Railroad Bill, Railroad Bill

He never worked and he never will

I'm gonna ride Railroad Bill

.

Well Railroad Bill

Was a mighty mean man

He shot the light out of the brakeman's hand

I'm gonna ride, that bad Railroad Bill

.

Well Miss McMillian, she whooped and squalled:

That's my husband, for I heard him fall

I'm gonna ride, that bad Railroad Bill

.

When I went down on number one

Railroad Bill had just begun

I'm gonna ride, Railroad Bill

.

When I come back on number two

Railroad Bill had just got through

I'm gonna ride, Railroad Bill

.

When I went down on number four

Someone let fly with a forty-four

I'm gonna ride, Railroad Bill

.

Got a thirty-eight special in a forty-five frame

I can't miss cause I got dead aim

I'm gonna ride, Railroad Bill

.

Well Railroad Bill, rollin' down the hill

Lightnin' cigars with a ten-dollar bill

I'm gonna ride, Railroad Bill

.

Well Railroad Bill says, before I die,

He wanna build a railroad for the bums to ride

I'm gonna ride, that bad Railroad Bill

.
