[Intro, spoken]
(We were lucky enough to come up with a hit recording
I'm very happy about that ever since)

[Chorus]
Railroad, steamboat, river and canal
Yonder comes a sucker, and he's got my gal
And she's gone, gone, gone
And she's gone, gone, gone
And 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 as sweet as sweet could be
'Til I found out what she did to me

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

[Verse 2]
I asked her mother to let her go
She whispered, "Mother, please tell him 'no'
Though he may think that I am true
There're plenty more who think so, too"
[Chorus]
Railroad, steamboat, river and canal
Yonder comes a sucker, and he's got my gal
And she's gone, gone, gone
And she's gone, gone, gone
And I'll bid her my last farewell
