Wagoners Lad |
| Oh, hard is the fortune of all woman kind |
| She’s always controlled, she’s always confined |
| Controlled by her parents untill she’s a wife |
| A slave to her husband the rest of her life |
| Oh, i’m just a poor girl my fortune is sad |
| i’ve always been courted by the wagoner’s lad |
| He’s courted me daily, by night and by day |
| But now he is packing and moving away |
| My parents don’t like him because he is poor |
| They say he’s not worthy of entering my door |
| He works for a living, his money’s his own |
| And if they don’t like it they can leave him alone |
| Your horses are hungry, go feed them some hay |
| Then sit down beside me as long as you may |
| My horses aint hungry, they won’t eat your hay |
| Then fare thee well darlin i’ll be on my way |
| Your wagon needs greasing your whip is to mend |
| Then sit down beside me as long as you can |
| My wagon is greasy, my whip’s in my hand |
| Then fare thee well darlin, no longer to stand |
