Ridin' On The L&N

Ridin' On The L&N

Around the bend in the L&N
They loaded it down with a lot of men
The whistle blow and threw the switch
Nobody knew just-a which one switch
I'm ridin', ridin on the L&N
I ain't
jivin'
, ridin' on the L&N
Well a man named Quin on
the L&N
Runnin'
around on how she's been
Train slowed down and the men jumped off
I wasn't dead 'cause I heard him callin'
I'm ridin', ridin' on the L&N
I ain't jivin', ridin' on the L&N
(Adrian Day offers this alternate transcription for the 2nd verse:
Well a man named Glen got the L & N
Heading round all Harsh ? and then
Train slowed down and Glen jumped out
He wasn't dead cos I heard him shout)
A man named Mose with a great big nose
Sleepin' on that pile of toes
The doctor came and he rang the bell
The palla alla
get well, well, well
I'm ridin', ridin' on the L&N
I ain't jivin', ridin' on the L&N
(Adrian Day offers this alternate transcription for the 3rd verse:
Well a man named Mose with a greta big nose
He was sleeping on a pile of clothes
Conductor came and ran the bell
The porter hollered - well well well
