Railroad, Steamboat, River and Canal Yonder comes a sucker and he's got my And she's gone, gone, gone And she's gone, gone, gone And bid my last farewell.
I fell in love with a pretty little thing I thought that wedding bells would ring She was sweet as she could be Til I found out what she to me.
CHORUS
I asked her mother to let her go whispered \"Mother, please tell him, No! Tho' he may think that I am 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 hear him sing this song.
