Wagoner's Lad |
| The heart is the fortune of all women kind |
| 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 courted my dailey, by night and by day |
| Now his wagon is loaded and he’s going away |
| 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 |
| If they don’t like me they can leave me alone |
| Your horses are hungry go feed them some hay |
| Come sit down here by me as long as you stay |
| My horses ain’t hungry, they won’t eat your hay |
| So fair thee well darlin. |
| I’ll feed on my way |
| Your wagon needs greasin', you whip is to mend |
| Come sit down here by me as long as you can |
| My wagon is greasy, my whip’s in my hand |
| So fair thee well darlin' no longer to stand |
| The heart is the fortune of all women kind |
| 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 |
