YONDER COMES A SUCKER
Recorded by Jim Reeves
Words and music by Jim Reeves
[D] Railroad, Steamboat, River and [A7] Canal
Yonder comes a sucker and he's got my [D] gal
And she's gone, gone, gone
And she's gone, gone, gone
And I'll bid her my [A7] last fare-[D] well.
[D] I fell in love with a pretty little thing
I thought that [A7] wedding bells would [D] ring
She was as sweet as she could be
Til I found [A7] out what she did to [D] me.
CHORUS
I asked her mother to let her go
She whispered "Mother, please tell him, No!
Tho' he may think that I am true
There are plenty more, who'll think so, too."
CHOURS
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.
CHORUS
