Lyrics

Fifteen dollars is my game, fifteen is my draw Randall Collins is my name, down in Arkansas
Rolling dice at the railroad yard won't get you too much scratch Working on that section gang will surely break your back Just hiding out by the water tanks, where the shade is good Watching that straw boss hunt for me, ain't nobody's fool They're making up a train in the Memphis yard, the longest I ever saw Going to ride it down to Fairbanks, down in Arkansas
