Yonder Comes a Sucker

(Jim Reeves)



Railroad, steamboat, river and canal

Yonder comes a sucker and he's got my girl

And she's gone, 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 girl

And she's gone, 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's plenty more who think so too.



Railroad, steamboat, river and canal

Yonder comes a sucker and he's got my girl

And she's gone, gone, gone, gone and she's gone, gone, gone

And I'll bid her my last farewell.



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 girl

And she's gone, gone, gone, gone and she's gone, gone, gone

And I'll bid her my last farewell.



And I'll bid her my last farewell...
