[Chorus]
D                              A
Railroad, Steamboat, River and Canal
                                      D
Yonder comes A sucker and he's got my gal
D
And she's gone,gone,gone
D
And she's gone,gone,gone
                    A        D
And I'll bid her my last farewell
[Verse]
D
I fell in love with A pretty little thing
               A                   D
I thought that wedding bells would ring
D
She was sweet as sweet could be
            A                   D
Til I found out what she did to me
[Chorus]
D
Railroad, Steamboat, River and Canal
A                                     D
Yonder comes A sucker and he's got my gal
D
And she's gone,gone,gone
D
And she's gone,gone,gone
                    A        D
And I'll bid her my last farewell
[Verse]
D
I ask her mother to let her go
              A                       D
She whispered mother please tell him, no!
D
Tho' he may think that I am true
                 Em    D
There are plenty more, who'll think so too
[Chorus]
D                              A
Railroad, Steamboat, River and Canal
                                      D
Yonder comes A sucker and he's got my gal
D
And she's gone,gone,gone
D
And she's gone,gone,gone
D
And I'll bid her my last farewell
[Instrumental]
D  A  D  Em D
[Verse]
D
Now I won't cry my life away
           A                   D
Some other sucker will have to pay
D
And when he finds that she is gone
A                               D
I guess I'll hear him sing this song
[Chorus]
D
Railroad, Steamboat, River and Canal
A                                     D
Yonder comes A sucker and he's got my gal
D
And she's gone,gone,gone
D
And she's gone,gone,gone
D
And I'll bid her my last farewell
[Ending]
