Railroad, steamboat, river and canal Yonder comes a sucker and he's got my girl And she's gone gone gone and she's gone gone gone And I'll bid her my last farewell
I fell in love with a pretty little thing I thought that wedding bells would ring She was as sweet as sweet could be Till I found out what she did to me
Railroad, steamboat, river and canal Yonder comes a sucker and he's got my girl And she's gone gone gone and she's gone gone gone And I'll 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 There's plenty more who think so too
Railroad, steamboat, river and canal Yonder comes a sucker and he's got my girl And she's gone gone gone and she's gone gone gone And I'll bid her my last farewell
Now I won't cry my life away Some other sucker will have to pay And when he finds that she is gone I guess I'll hear him sing this song
Railroad, steamboat, river and canal Yonder comes a sucker and he's got my girl And she's gone gone gone and she's gone gone gone And I'll bid her my last farewell.
