How about Railroad Bill? You sing a verse and I'll sing a verse so we don't have to contest.
Wow.
Can you sing a little more?
Nobody knows anything about trains, nobody knows anything about him.
Railroad Bill is a good song too.
Shot down trying to ride a freight train out of town.
Oh Railroad Bill, I'm a mighty bad man. I shot the lantern out of that breakman's hand
because I'm gonna ride this train out of your town.
Sing, Jack.
Railroad Bill is coming home soon. He killed MacMillan by the light of the moon.
Now that's right, right, right.
I'm going out west, I'm going out west with a .45 Special sticking in my vest
because I'm gonna ride this train out of town.
Two policemen dressed in blue coming down the street, oh, two by two,
they're looking for Railroad Bill. Buy me a pistol as long as my arm.
What you gonna do?
Shoot everybody that ever tried to do me harm because I'm gonna ride this train out of town.
Early in the morning, they're standing in the rain,
and around the curb comes that long gravel train. I'm gonna ride, ride, ride.
Oh Railroad Bill, he is a mighty bad man. He shot that midnight lantern
out of that breakman's hand and said, I'm gonna ride this train out of town.
Railroad Bill is standing on a hill, lighting cigars with a ten dollar bill.
I'm gonna ride, ride, ride. If you don't want me, baby, you don't have to stall.
I got more women than a train can haul, and we'll ride, ride on down.
Want to buy me a pistol made up on a .44 frame? You can look down and about and see that
Undertaker man. I'm gonna ride, ride this train out of town.
I've got a .38 special on a .45 frame. I can't miss it when I've got dead aim,
so I'm gonna ride this train out of town.
Hey, you rascal, look what you've done. Killed my husband, your rival's done some
crime. I'm gonna ride this train out of town.
Railroad Bill, Railroad Bill, he never worked down, he never will.
Wow.
Can you sing a little more?
Nobody knows anything about trains, nobody knows anything about him.
Railroad Bill is a good song too.
Shot down trying to ride a freight train out of town.
Oh Railroad Bill, I'm a mighty bad man. I shot the lantern out of that breakman's hand
because I'm gonna ride this train out of your town.
Sing, Jack.
Railroad Bill is coming home soon. He killed MacMillan by the light of the moon.
Now that's right, right, right.
I'm going out west, I'm going out west with a .45 Special sticking in my vest
because I'm gonna ride this train out of town.
Two policemen dressed in blue coming down the street, oh, two by two,
