Wagoner's Lad |
| Oh hard is the fortune of all womankind |
| They’re always controlled, they’re always confined |
| Controlled by their parents until they are wives |
| Then slaves to their husbands the rest of their lives |
| I am 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 |
| And now he is loaded and going away |
| Your horses are hungry, go feed them on hay |
| Come down by me darling as long as you may |
| My horses aren’t hungry, they won’t eat your hay |
| So fare thee well darling, I’ll be on my way |
| Your parents don’t like me because I am poor |
| They say I’m not worthy of entering your door |
| I work for my living, my money’s my own |
| And if they don’t like me they can leave me alone |
| Your wagon needs greasing, your whip is to mend |
| Come here down beside me as long as you can |
| My wagon is greasy, my whip’s in my hand |
| So fare thee well darling, I’ll no longer stand |
| Oh hard is the fortune of all womankind |
| They’re always controlled, they’re always confined |
| Controlled by their parents until they are wives |
| Then slaves to their husbands the rest of their lives |
