Railroad Bill(Traditional with many different lyrics – John wrote this 4th verse) In many versions, Bill is a mean, bad guy. In this version he is a prince of bums. Remember, Hobos would work and bums would avoid it if at all possible,Linda on CGc guitar. John on DGB.[Chorus:][C] Railroad Bill, Railroad Bill,[E7] Aint never worked, and he [F] never will.[C] I wanna ride with [G] railroad [C] Bill.[C] Railroad Bill had a forty dollar bill.[E7] Took all the boys on a [F] trip to Mobile.[C] I wanna ride with [G] railroad [C] Bill.[C]Forty four pistol as long as your arm.[E7] Carried that gun but [F] didn’t mean no harm.[C] I wanna ride with [G] railroad [C] Bill.[C] Old Bill, he would say with pride[E7] He fixed the roads [F] so us bums could ride.[C] I wanna ride with [G] railroad [C] Bill.[C] Bill got a ticket to his last ride[E7] The boys gathered round’ to [F] stand by his side.[C] I wanna ride with [G] railroad [C] Bill.[C] I wanna ride with [G] railroad [C] Bill.

Really nice Linda and John! Just getting caught up on vids and pics as I have been working a LOT :-( I like the whistle also John, adds a realistic touch to a cool song. Gotta lay off the saltines before you sing this tune eh?

Joel, I just whistle when I forget the lyrics.
You ain't whistling Dixie !! Going to have to try some whistling and playing now !
I would try that.
Maybe even a sardine to top it off?
Thanks, Pat. Now I am craving saltine crackers. With peanut butter.
