Remembered from somewhere a long time ago:

Railroad Bill, ran his train so fast,
Couldn't see the postes as they passed.

Railroad Bill, standing on a hill,
Lighting a cigar with a ten-dollar bill.

Railroad Bill, he was so bad,
Stole all the money his old man had.

(In the dialect of this version, the plural of "post" has two syllables. Pos', postes. Goes back to Middle English.)
