F                              C7
Railroad, steamboat, river and canal
                                      F
Yonder comes a sucker and he's got my gal
          F
And she's gone, gone, gone
          F
And she's gone, gone, gone
                    C7       F
And I'll bid her my last farewell


[Verse 1]
F
I fell in love with a pretty little thing
               C7                  F
I thought that wedding bells would ring
F
She was as sweet as she could be
             C7                  F
'Til I found out what she did to me


[Chorus]
F                              C7
Railroad, steamboat, river and canal
                                      F
Yonder comes a sucker and he's got my gal
          F
And she's gone, gone, gone
          F
And she's gone, gone, gone
                    C7       F
And I'll bid her my last farewell


[Verse 2]
F
I asked her mother to let her go
               C7                       F
She whispered "Mother, please tell him, No!
F
Though he may think that I am true
                 C7                     F
There are plenty more, who'll think so, too."


[Chorus]
F                              C7
Railroad, steamboat, river and canal
                                      F
Yonder comes a sucker and he's got my gal
          F
And she's gone, gone, gone
          F
And she's gone, gone, gone
                    C7       F
And I'll bid her my last farewell


[Verse 3]
F
Now I won't cry my life away
           C7                  F
Some other sucker will have to pay
F
And when he finds that she is gone
             C7                 F
I guess I'll hear him sing this song


[Chorus]
F                              C7
Railroad, steamboat, river and canal
                                      F
Yonder comes a sucker and he's got my gal
          F
And she's gone, gone, gone
          F
And she's gone, gone, gone
                    C7       F
And I'll bid her my last farewell
