C Railroad Bill, he ain't so bad, E F killed his mommy, shot a round in his dad around with? C G C Ride old Railroad Bill. Railroad Bill took my wife.

Railroad Bill he was comin' down the hill Lightin' cigars with a ten-dollar bill Ride old Railroad Bill Ten policemen, all dressed in black, coming out of nowhere, walking down the tracks, and they're looking for Railroad Bill Railroad Bill, comin' round the bend fence? Robbin' a passenger train for 16 cents I'm gonna ride old Railroad Bill Railroad Bill got in a gamblin' game shot a man down, though he was to blame when you lose your mind, let it turn loose He's down in a jailhouse singin' railer's blues Same old pants on your passenger shoes When you lose your mind, let it loose Railroad Bill he's a mighty bad man Shot the lantern from a brakeman's hand Just to see that man suffer pain.
