Railroad Bill - Bob Dylan

Railroad Bill, Railroad Bill

He never worked, and he never will

And it’s ride, ride, ride

Railroad Bill he was a mighty mean man

He shot the midnight lantern out of the brakeman’s hand

And it’s ride, ride, ride

Railroad Bill you know he took my wife

Said if I didn’t like it, he would take my life

I’m gonna ride, ride, ride

Goin' up the mountain, goin' out west

.38 Spec a-stickin' out of my vest

I’m gonna ride, ride, ride

Buy me a pistol just as long as my arm

And shoot anybody who does me any harm

I’m gonna ride, ride, ride

Railroad Bill, Railroad Bill

He never worked, and he never will

Ride, ride, ride

Honey honey, honey think that I’m a fool

Think I would quit you when the weather is cool

Ride, ride, ride
