Railroad steamboat river and cannal yonder comes a sucker and he's got my girl And she's gone gone gone and she's gone gone gone and I'll bid her my last farewell I fell in love with a pretty little thing I thought that wedding bells would ring She was as sweet as she could be till I found out what she did to me Railroad steamboat... Now I won't cry my life away some other sucker will have to pay And when he finds that she is gone I bet I'll hear him sing this song Railroad steamboat...
