Railroad, steamboat, river, and canal
Yonder comes a sucker and he's got my gal
And 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 pretty little thing
I thought that wedding bells would ring
She was as sweet as sweet could be
'Til I found out what she did to me
Railroad, steamboat, river, and canal
Yonder comes a sucker and he's got my gal
And she's gone, gone, gone
And she's gone, gone, gone
And I'll bid her my last farewell
I ask her mother to let her go
She whispered, "Mother, please tell him no"
Tho' he may think that I am trough
There are plenty more who'll think so too
Railroad, steamboat, river, and canal
Yonder comes a sucker and he's got my gal
And she's gone, gone, gone
And she's gone, gone, gone
And I'll bid her my last farewell
Now I won't cry my life away
Some other sucker will have to pay
And when he finds that she is gone
I guess I'll hear him sing this song
Railroad, steamboat, river, and canal
Yonder comes a sucker and he's got my gal
And she's gone, gone, gone
And she's gone, gone, gone
And I'll bid her my last farewell
