Railroad, Steamboat, River and Canal Yonder a sucker and he's got my gal And she's gone, gone And she's gone, gone, gone And I'll bid her last farewell.
I fell in love with a pretty little thing I thought that wedding bells would She was as sweet as she could be Til I found out she did to me.
CHORUS
I asked her to let her go She whispered \"Mother, please him, No! Tho' he may think that I am true There are plenty more, think so, too.\"
CHORUS
Now I won't cry my life away Some other sucker will have to And when he that she is gone I guess I'll hear him sing this song.
