Railroad, Steamboat, River and Canal Yonder comes 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 with a pretty little thing I that wedding bells would ring She was as sweet as she could be Til I found out what she did me.
CHORUS
I asked her mother to let her go She \"Mother, please him, No! Tho' he 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 have to pay And when he finds that she is gone I guess I'll him sing this song.
