D                              A7
Railroad, Steamboat, River and Canal 
                                      D
Yonder comes a sucker and he's got my gal 
 
And she's gone, gone, gone 

And she's gone, gone, gone 
                    A7        D
And I'll bid her my last fare-well. 
D
I fell in love with a pretty little thing 
               A7                  D
I thought that wedding bells would ring 
 
She was as sweet as she could be 
            A7                  D
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
