Railroad Bill - Lyrics - Andrew Bird

Railroad Bill, Railroad Bill Never worked and he never will I'm gonna ride Railroad Bill Well, Railroad Bill was a mighty mean man Shot the light out of the brakeman's hand I'm gonna ride that bad Railroad Bill Well Miss McMillan, she whooped and she squawked That's my husband for I heard him fall I'm gonna ride that bad Railroad Bill Well I went down on Number One Railroad Bill had just begun I'm gonna ride Railroad Bill Well I came back on Number Two Railroad Bill had just got through I'm gonna ride Railroad Bill Well 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 ain't gonna miss 'cause I've got dead aim I'm gonna ride that bad Railroad Bill Well Railroad Bill, rolling down a hill Lighting cigars with a ten-dollar bill I'm gonna ride that bad Railroad Bill Well, Railroad Bill says, Before I die I'm gonna build a railroad for the bums to ride I'm gonna ride that bad Railroad Bill
