| [00:00.00] |
Oh, hard is the fortune of all woman kind |
| [00:07.00] |
She's always controlled, she's always confined |
| [00:13.00] |
Controlled by her parents until she's a wife |
| [00:20.00] |
A slave to her husband the rest of her life |
| [00:27.00] |
Oh, I'm just a poor girl, my fortune is sad |
| [00:32.00] |
I've always been courted by the wagoner's lad |
| [00:39.00] |
He's courted me daily, by night and by day |
| [00:45.00] |
And now he is loading and going away |
| [00:52.00] |
Oh, my parents don't like him because he is poor |
| [00:58.00] |
They say he's not worthy of entering my door |
| [01:03.00] |
He works for a living, his money's his own |
| [01:09.00] |
And if they don't like it they can leave him alone |
| [01:15.00] |
Oh, your horses are hungry, go feed them some hay |
| [01:21.00] |
Then sit down here by me as long as you may |
| [01:28.00] |
My horses ain't hungry, they won't eat your hay |
| [01:34.00] |
So fare thee well darlin', I'll be on my way |
| [01:39.00] |
Oh, your wagon needs greasing your whip is to mend |
| [01:47.00] |
Then sit down here by me as long as you can |
| [01:53.00] |
My wagon is greasy, my whip's in my hand |
| [02:01.00] |
So fare thee well darlin', no longer to stand |
