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 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 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 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 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 bid her my last farewell
