Standard (EADGBE)

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 fare- well.

I fell in love with a pretty little thing

 I thought that wedding bells would ring

She was as sweet as she could be

 Til I found out what she did to me.

Chorus

I asked her mother to let her go

She whispered "Mother, please tell him, No!

Tho' he may think that I am true

There are plenty more, who'll think so, too."

CHOURS

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.

Chorus
