Crooked Still - Railroad Bill lyrics

rate me

Railroad Bill, Railroad Bill, he doesn't work and he never will

And it's ride, ride, ride, ride

Buy me a chicken, send me a wing.

It'll look like I've been working, but I ain't done a thing

And it's ride, ride, ride, ride

Railroad Bill was a mighty mean man

He shot the midnight lantern out of the breakman's hand

And it's ride, ride, ride, ride

I'm going up a mountain, I'm going out west

Got a forty four pistol sticking out my vest

And it's ride, ride, ride, ride

Railroad Bill, he took my wife

He said if I don't like it, he would take my life

And it's ride, ride, ride, ride

Railroad Bill, Railroad Bill,

Rollin' up a cigar with a ten dollar bill

And it's ride, ride, ride, ride

I'm gonna find me a pistol as long as my arm

I'll kill everybody who's ever done me harm

And it's ride, ride, ride, ride
