Well that's railroad steamboat river and cannal
Yonder comes a sucker and he's got my girl
And she's gone gone gone gone gone gone gone 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
Well that's railroad steamboatl...
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 twenty more that think so too
Well that's 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 guess I'll hear him sing this song
Well that's railroad steamboat...
