Railroad, steamboat, river and canal
Yonder comes a sucker and he's got my girl
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 she could be
Till I found out what she did to me.

Railroad, steamboat, river and canal
Yonder comes a sucker and he's got my girl
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 bet I'll hear him sing this song.

Railroad, steamboat, river and canal
Yonder comes a sucker and he's got my girl
And she's gone, gone, gone and she's gone, gone, gone
And I'll bid her my last farewell...
