Bb
Around the bend in the L&N
Bb
They loaded it down with a lot of men
Bb
The whistle blow and threw the switch
  N.C.
Nobody knew just-a which one switch


[Chorus]
     Eb                   Bb
I'm ridin', ridin on the L&N
        F        Eb            Bb
I ain't jivin', ridin' on the L&N


[Verse 2]
Bb
Well a man named Quin on the L&N
Bb
Runnin' around on how she's been
Bb
Train slowed down and the men jumped off
  N.C.
I wasn't dead 'cause I heard him callin'


[Chorus]
     Eb                   Bb
I'm ridin', ridin on the L&N
        F        Eb            Bb
I ain't jivin', ridin' on the L&N

[Verse 3]
Bb
A man named Mose with a great big nose
Bb
Sleepin' on that pile of toes
Bb
The doctor came and he rang the bell
  N.C.
The palla alla get well, well, well


[Chorus]
     Eb                   Bb
I'm ridin', ridin on the L&N
        F        Eb            Bb
I ain't jivin', ridin' on the L&N
