Lyrics
Railroad, steamboat, river and canal
Yonder comes a sucker and he's got my gal
And she's gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone
And I bid her my last farewell
I fell in love with a pretty little thing
I thought that wedding bells would ring
She was sweet as she could be
'Til I found out what she did to me
Railroad, steamboat, river and canal
Yonder comes a sucker and he's got my gal
And she's gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone
And I bid her my last farewell
I asked her mother to let her go
She whispered, "Mother, please tell him, no"
Though he may think that I am true
Plenty more, who think so too
Railroad, steamboat, river and canal
Yonder comes a sucker and he's got my gal
And she's gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone
And I bid her my last farewell
I won't cry (I won't cry) my life away (life away)
Some other sucker (other sucker) gonna have to pay (have to pay)
And when he finds (when he finds) that she is gone (she is gone)
I guess I'll hear (guess I'll hear) him sing this song (sing this song)
Railroad, steamboat, river and canal
Yonder comes a sucker and he's got my gal
And she's gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone
And I bid her my last farewell
Railroad, steamboat, river and canal
Yonder comes a sucker and he's got my gal
And she's gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone
And I bid her my last farewell
And I bid her my last farewell
And I bid her my last farewell
