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