[Chorus 1]
C                              G
Railroad steamboat river and canal
                                      C
Yonder comes a sucker and he's got my gal

And she's gone gone gone gone and she's gone gone gone
                    G        C
And I'll bid her my last farewell

[Verse 1]
C
I fell in love with a pretty little thing
               G                   C
I thought them wedding bells would ring

She was as sweet as sweet could be
              G                   C
'Till I found out what she did to me

[Chorus 2]
C                              G
Railroad steamboat river and canal
                                      C
Yonder comes a sucker and he's got my gal

And she's gone gone gone gone and she's gone gone gone
                    G        C
And I'll bid her my last farewell

[Verse 2]
C
I asked her mother to let her go
              G                      C
She whispered mother please tell him no

Though he may think that I am true
               G                 C
There's plenty more who think so too

[Chorus 3]
C                              G
Railroad steamboat river and canal
                                      C
Yonder comes a sucker and he's got my gal

And she's gone gone gone gone and she's gone gone gone
                    G        C
And I'll bid her my last farewell

A D

[Verse 2]
        D
I won't cry my life away
           A7                  D
Some other sucker will have to pay

And when he finds that she is gone
             A7                 D
I guess I'll hear him sing this song

[Chorus 4]
D                              A7
Railroad steamboat river and canal
                                      D
Yonder comes a sucker and he's got my gal

And she's gone gone gone gone and she's gone gone gone
                    A7       D
And I'll bid her my last farewell
                    A7       D
And I'll bid her my last farewell
