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 bid her 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 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 bid her my last farewell
I asked her mother to let her go
She whispered, "mother please tell him no!"
Though he may think that I am true
There's plenty more, who 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 bid her my last farewell
I won't cry my life away
Some other sucker gonna 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 bid her my last farewell
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 bid her my last farewell
And I bid her my last farewell
And I bid her my last farewell
