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