traditional song

song sample:

lyrics:

railroad bill, railroad bill,
he never worked and he never will;
bad railroad bill.

railroad bill, railroad bill,
took everything that the farmer had;
that bad railroad bill.

railroad bill had no wife,
always looking for somebody's wife;
then it's ride, ride, ride.

kill me a chicken, send me the wing,
they think i'm working but i ain't done a thing;
ride, ride, ride.

railroad bill, mighty bad man,
shoot the lantern out the brakeman's hand,
bad railroad bill.

railroad bill, desperate and bad,
take everything that the poor women's had;
then it's ride, ride, ride.

railroad bill, coming home soon,
killed macmillan by the light of the moon;
then it's ride, ride, ride.

macmillan had a special train,
when he got there it was spring,
ride, ride, ride.

two policeman dressed in blue,
coming down the street in two and two;
well looking for railroad bill.

everybody told him he better turn back,
bill was going down the railroad track;
it's ride, ride, ride.
