Railroad Bill

Railroad Bill, Railroad Bill

He never worked and he never will

I'm gonna ride, ride, ride

She was coming round the bend on a red, white and blue day

When the coupling on the club car broke

She went flying through the air with her CN travel car

And it was ninety-seven days before she woke

Passengers will please refrain

From pheasants while the train

Is passing through a sanctuary park

Pity that for ring-necked pheasant

Who will find it most unpleasant

Even though you did it for a lark

She was riding the Rapido, making ninety miles an hour

Flying on the westbound leg

When the air brakes failed outside of Toronto

She traveled through to Winnipeg

[Chorus]
