Well that's railroad steamboat river and cannal Yonder comes a s**er 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 s**er 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...
