The ballad "Railroad Bill" dates back to the 19th century and has been performed and recorded by a number of artists over the years. The song is based on the exploits of Morris Slater, the real-life Railroad Bill-- a Black outlaw in the post-Reconstruction South who purportedly stole from the railroad and gave to the poor-- a "real-life" Robin Hood.<a href="https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5uFRgGV81nLgzBpHga6Leq?si=bb06f6341e624ca5">Check out our Spotify Playlist of Railroad Songs, including The Ballad of Casey Jones, Railroad Bill, and John Henry's Hammer!</a> Connect with Southern Gothic Media:<ul>
