Around the bend came the L&N
Loaded down with a lot of men
Engineer came and threw the switch
Nobody knew just-a which was which
I'm ridin', ridin on the L&N
Hitchhikin', ridin' on the L&N

A man named Quinn got the L&N
Runnin' around a horse shoe bend
Train slowed down and Quinn jumped off
He wasn't dead 'cause I heard him cough
I'm ridin', ridin' on the L&N
Hitchhikin', ridin' on the L&N

A man named Mose with a great big nose
Was fast asleep on a pile of clothes
Engineer came and rang the bell
Fireman hollered well, well, well
I'm ridin', ridin' on the L&N
Hitchhikin', ridin' on the L&N
