Yonder Comes a Sucker

[Chorus]
Well, it's railroad, steamboat, river and canal
A-yonder comes a sucker, and he's got my gal
And she's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
I'll bid her my last farewell

[Verse 1]
I fell in love with a pretty little thing
I thought that wedding bells would ring
She was sweet as sweet could be
'Til I found out what she did to me

[Chorus]
Well, it's railroad, steamboat, river and canal
A-yonder comes a sucker, and he's got my gal
And she's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
I'll bid her my last farewell

[Verse 2]
I asked her mother to let her go
She whispered, "Mother, just tell him 'no'
Though he may think that I am true
There's plenty more that think so, too"

[Chorus]
Well, it's railroad, steamboat, river and canal
A-yonder comes a sucker, and he's got my gal
And she's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
I'll bid her my last farewell

[Verse 3]
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]
Well, it's railroad, steamboat, river and canal
A-yonder comes a sucker, and he's got my gal
And she's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
I'll bid her my last farewell
