TraditionalRailroad Bill Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Railroad Bill, he was a mighty big fool
Wouldn't ride nothin' but a mustang mule
[Refrain]
I'm scared of Railroad Bill
I'm scared of Railroad Bill, young man
I'm scared of Railroad Bill
[Verse 2]
Railroad Bill, he was mighty mean
Wouldn't wear nothin' but the big-leg jeans
[Refrain]
I'm scared of Railroad Bill
I'm scared of Railroad Bill, young man
I'm scared of Railroad Bill
[Verse 3]
Railroad Bill, he goin' 'round that curve
If you go 'round there, you better raise your nerve
[Refrain]
I'm scared of Railroad Bill
I'm scared of Railroad Bill, young man
I'm scared of Railroad Bill
[Afterwords: John Lomax]
These songs were sung by Vera Hall
At the home of Mrs. Ruby Pickens Tartt of Livingston, Alabama
