Railroad Bill had no wife,
Always lookin’ fer somebody’s life,
An’ it’s lookin’ fer Railroad Bill.
Railroad Bill was the worst ol’ coon:
Killed McMillan by de light o’ de moon,
It’s lookin’ fer Railroad Bill.
Ol’ Culpepper went up on number five,
Goin’ bring him back, dead or alive,
Wus lookin’ fer Railroad Bill.
