Railroad, Steamboat, River Canal Yonder comes a sucker and he's got my gal And she's gone, gone And she's gone, gone, gone And I'll bid her my last farewell.
I fell in love with pretty little thing I thought that wedding would ring She was as sweet as she could be Til I found out she did to me.
CHORUS
I asked her mother to let go She whispered \"Mother, please tell him, No! Tho' he may that I am true There are plenty more, who'll think so, too.\"
CHORUS
Now I cry my life away other sucker will have to pay And when he finds she is gone I guess I'll hear him sing this song.
