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