1
Oh, hard is the fortune of all woman kind
2
She's always controlled, she's always confined
3
Controlled by her parents untill she's a wife
4
A slave to her husband the rest of her life
5
Oh, i'm just a poor girl my fortune is sad
6
i've always been courted by the wagoner's lad
7
He's courted me daily, by night and by day
8
But now he is packing and moving away
9
My parents don't like him because he is poor
10
They say he's not worthy of entering my door
11
He works for a living, his money's his own
12
And if they don't like it they can leave him alone
13
Your horses are hungry, go feed them some hay
14
Then sit down beside me as long as you may
15
My horses aint hungry, they won't eat your hay
16
Then fare thee well darlin i'll be on my way
17
Your wagon needs greasing your whip is to mend
18
Then sit down beside me as long as you can
19
My wagon is greasy, my whip's in my hand
20
Then fare thee well darlin, no longer to stand
