Railroad Bill by Hobart Smith

Railroad Bill - Hobart Smith; C position, standard tuning.

SPOKEN: Railroad Bill, the title, this song here

Railroad Bill, so mean and so bad
He whupped his Mammy, shot a round at his Dad
One morning, just before day

Railroad Bill, he's standing on a hill
A-rolling cigars out of a ten-dollar bill
Oh, ride, ride, ride

Railroad Bill, so mean and so bad
He whupped his Mammy, shot a round at his Dad
One morning, just before day

February, one morning, the showers and rain
Around the curve come a timely train
Oh, ride, ride, ride

If the bums going to bend the rail
Ain't nobody for to tell the tale
Oh, ride, ride, ride

Railroad Bill is standing on the hill
He'll never work, or he never will
Oh, ride, ride, ride
