Around the bend came the L and N
They loaded it down with a lot of men
I wind you now and threw the switch
Nobody knew just a-which one was which
I'm ridin', ridin' on the L and N
Hitchhikin', I'm ridin' on the L and N
A man named Quin got the L and N
Runnin' around on how she been
The train slowed down and Quin jumped off
He wasn't dead 'cause I heard him callin'
I'm ridin', ridin' on the L and N
Hitchhikin', I'm ridin' on the L and N
A man named Mose with a great big nose
Was sleepin' on a pile of clothes
Conductor came and then rang the bell
The porter hollered, Yeah, well, well, well
I'm ridin', ridin' on the L and N
Hitchhikin', I'm ridin' on the L and N
