Lyrics

Railroad Charlie

Genres: Country, Folk

“Railroad Charlie”


Railroad Charlie stepped through the doors
But the Lame Horse Saloon wouldn’t serve no more
Charlie was trouble from morning to night
Trailhands just itchin,’ itchin’ to fight
Now Railroad Charlie slithered up to the bar
Slapped down a hundred, lit up a cigar
“Gimme a whiskey!” he hollered at the man
Man said “You ain’t welcome here in Spokane” 

Chorus:
When you think you’re the toughest in the room
Consider your odds and don’t ever assume
You got what it takes to weather the storm
When the gang before you is twenty strong

Now, Railroad Charlie stood six feet tall
Motorcycle jacket, sideburns, and all
Looked just like Elvis’ or at least his twin
Soakin’ wet, weighed a hundred and ten
These here cowboys, just off the trail
Don’t take to strangers, frail and pale
Strongly suggested Charlie hit the road
“Git outta Lame Horse!” somebody crowed 

[Repeat Chorus]

Now Charlie weren’t a man to spook ‘n run
So, he pulled his Smith & Wesson gun
That’s when all hell broke lose
And the cowboys fancied themselves a noose
Now Charlie knew he was outnumbered
He yelled from the rafters, he roared, and he thundered
“I’ll see y’all rot in hell, I’ll do my drinkin’ at the Farewell”

Outro:
Well, the cowboys, they all jereed and cheered
As Railroad Charlie disappeared

[Repeat Chorus]



Note: I try not to assign a genre, it strangles the composer’s creativity.
