Ridin' on the L & N

Around the bend in the L&N

They load it down with a lot of men

The whistle blow and threw the switch

Nobody knew just-a which one swich

I'm ridin', ridin on the L&N

I ain't jivin', ridin' on the L&N

Well a man named Quin (Grant?) on the L&N

Runnin' 'round on Horseshoe Bend

Train slowed down and the men jumped off

I wasn't dead 'cause I heard him call

I'm ridin', ridin' on the L&N

I ain't jivin', ridin' on the L&N

A man named Mose with a great big nose

Sleepin' on that pile of toes

The doctor came and he rang the bell

The palla alla get well, well, well

I'm ridin', ridin' on the L&N

I ain't jivin', ridin' on the L&N
