Yonder Comes a Sucker (1970) 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
'Til 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 ask her mother to let her go
She whispered, "Mother, please tell him no"
Tho' he may think that I am trough
There are plenty more who′ll 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
