Yonder Comes a Sucker Songtext
von Jim Reeves

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

I fell in love with a pretty little thing
I thought that wedding bells would ring
She was as sweet as sweet could be
'Till I found out what she did to me

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


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

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

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

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
