ramblin’ jack elliott – railroad bill lyrics

Loading...

[verse]
rail-road bill, rail-road bill
he never worked, and he never will
and it’s ride, ride, ride
rail-road bill’s a mighty mean man
shot the light out of the poor brake-man’s hand
rail-road bill, up on a hill
lighting a cigar with a ten-dollar bill
rail-road bill took my wife
if i didn’t like it, going to take my life
going on a mountain, going out west
thirty-eight special sticking out of my vest
buy me a pistol just as long as my arm
shoot everybody ever done me harm
got a thirty-special in a forty-five frame
i can’t miss ’cause i got dead aim
rail-road bill, he ain’t so bad
whipped his mama, shot his old dad
early one morning, standing in the rain
round the bend come a long freight train
rail-road bill a-coming home soon
k!lled mcmillan by the light of the moon
mcmillan had a special train
when they got there they was praying
k!ll me a chicken, send me the wing
they think i’m working,lord, i ain’t doing a thing
k!ll me a chicken, send me the head
think i’m working, lord, i’m laying in bed
going to drink my whiskey, drink it in the wind
the doctor said it’d k!ll me but he didn’t say when
