Railroad Bill, Railroad Bill
Live way up on the Railroad Hill,
Ride, ride, ride.
Raiload Bill, Railroad Bill,
He never work' and I he never will,
Ride, ride, ride.
Kill me a chicken, send me the wing,
You think I'm workin', I don't do a thing,
Ride, ride, ride.
Railroad Bill, Railroad Bill,
Live way up on Railroad Hill,
Ride, ride, ride.
