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
