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 |
