Railroad Bill Lyrics by Vera Hall

Deep River of Song: Alabama: From Lullabies to Blues

0

[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
July the 23, 1937
For the benefit of the Library of Congress in Washington
