Railroad Bill (Traditional) [18pt]
G B7 C
Railroad Bill, Railroad Bill / He never worked and he never will
G D G
And it’s ride, ride, ride.
Railroad Bill he was a mighty mean man
Shot the midnight lantern out of the brakeman’s hand
And it’s ride, ride, ride.
Railroad Bill, you know he took my wife
Said if I didn’t like it he would take my life
I’m gonna ride, ride, ride.
Goin’ up the mountain, goin’ out west / .38 special stickin’ out of my vest
I’m gonna ride, ride, ride
Find me a pistol just as long as my arm
And shoot anybody who does me any harm,
I’m gonna ride, ride, ride.
Honey, honey, honey, do you think that I’m a fool?
Think that I would quit you when the weather is cool?
I’m gonna ride, ride, ride.
