Lyrics

Railroad Bill, Railroad Bill
He never worked, and he never will
And it's ride, ride, ride, ride
Railroad Bill lives on Garbage Hill
He never bathes, and he never will
It's that stinky, smelly Railroad Bill
Railroad Bill, Railroad Bill
He never worked, and he never will
And it's ride, ride, ride, ride
Two policemen dressed in blue
Comin' down that hill goin' two by two
They're lookin' for our friend, Railroad Bill
Railroad Bill, Railroad Bill
He never worked, and he never will
And it's ride, ride, ride, ride
Railroad Bill goin' down the hill
Lightin' cigars with a ten-dollar bill
It's that dirty crook, Railroad Bill
Railroad Bill, Railroad Bill
He never worked, and he never will
And it's ride, ride, ride, ride
(Play that autoharp, boy)
First on the table, next on the wall
Old darn liquor is the cause of it all
It's that dirty, old Railroad Bill
Railroad Bill, Railroad Bill
He never worked, and he never will
And it's ride, ride, ride, ride
Railroad Bill now said before he died
He'd build a railroad for the bums to ride
And it's ride on, Railroad Bill
Railroad Bill, Railroad Bill
He never worked, and he never will
And it's ride, ride, ride, ride
Railroad Bill, Railroad Bill
He never worked, and he never will
And it's ride, ride, ride, ride
