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.
