Around the bend in the L&N
They loaded it down with a lot of men
The horn too blew and threw the switch
Nobody knew just-a which one switch
I'm ridin', ridin on the L&N
Hitchhikin', I've been ridin' on the L&N

Well a man named Quin on the L&N
Runnin' around on how she's 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&N
Hitchhikin', I've been ridin' on the L&N"

A man named Mose with a great big nose
Sleepin' on that pile of toes
The doctor came and he rang the bell
Well he hollered, hollered: "Well, well, well
I'm ridin', ridin' on the L&N
Hitchhikin', I've been ridin' on the L&N"
