Railroad Bill Lyrics

Title: Railroad Bill
Submitted by: Anonanimal (My girlfriend and I tried to figure this one out since we've
been singing it around the house constantly and couldnt find it anywhere. Feel free to
correct any problems so that everyone can benefit).
Capo: NONE
Note (*): When your two fingers are already on the low E string and the A string from
playing the G chord, try fingerpicking them in the order (low E, then A) before
transitioning into the B7 chord. Not necessary, but adds a little more filler towards
the progressions.
Railroad Bill, Railroad Bill
Never worked and he never will
Im gonna ride, Railroad Bill.
Well, Railroad Bill was a mighty mean man
Shot the light out of the brakemans hand
Im gonna ride, that bad Railroad Bill.
Well Miss McMillan, she whooped and she squawked
Thats my husband for I heard him fall
Im gonna ride, that bad Railroad Bill.
Well I went down on Number One
Railroad Bill had just begun
Im gonna ride, Railroad Bill.
Well I came back on Number Two
Railroad Bill had just got through
Im gonna ride, Railroad Bill.
Well I went down on Number Four
Someone let fly with a forty-four
Im gonna ride, Railroad Bill.
Got a thirty-eight special in a forty-five frame
I aint gonna miss cause Ive got dead aim
Im gonna ride, that bad Railroad Bill.
Well Railroad Bill, rolling down a hill
Lighting cigars with a ten-dollar bill
Im gonna ride, that bad Railroad Bill.
Well, Railroad Bill says, Before I die,
Im gonna build a railroad for the bums to ride
Im gonna ride, that bad Railroad Bill.
