  			D Railroad, Steamboat, River and A7 Canal 
Yonder comes a sucker and he's got my D gal 
And she's gone, gone, gone 
And she's gone, gone, gone 
And I'll bid her my A7 last fare-{D} well. 
 
D I fell in love with a pretty little thing 
I thought that A7 wedding bells would D ring 
She was as sweet as she could be 
Til I found A7 out what she did to D 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.
