The Wagoner's Lad - Preston Young[00:00:00]
Oh hard is the fortune of all womankind[00:00:14]
They're always controlled;[00:00:21]
They're always confined[00:00:25]
Controlled by their parents[00:00:29]
Until they are wives[00:00:33]
Then slaves to their[00:00:37]
Husbands the rest of their lives[00:00:38]
I've been a poor girl;[00:00:44]
My fortune is sad[00:00:48]
I've always been courted[00:00:52]
By the Wagoner's Lad[00:00:55]
He courted me daily [00:01:00]
By night and by day[00:01:03]
And now he is loaded and going away[00:01:08]
"Your parents don't[00:01:26]
Like me because I am poor[00:01:29]
They say I'm not worthy[00:01:34]
Of entering your door[00:01:37]
I work for my living;[00:01:41]
My money's my own[00:01:45]
And if they don't like me [00:01:49]
They can leave me alone"[00:01:52]
"Your horses are hungry;[00:01:56]
Go feed them some hay[00:02:00]
Come sit down here[00:02:04]
By me as long as you stay"[00:02:05]
"My horses ain't hungry;[00:02:12]
They won't eat your hay[00:02:15]
So fare you well darling;[00:02:20]
I'll be on my way"[00:02:22]
"Your wagon needs greasing;[00:02:27]
Your whip is to mend[00:02:30]
Come sit down her[00:02:34]
By me as long as you can"[00:02:35]
"My wagon is greasy;[00:02:41]
My whip's in my hand[00:02:45]
So fare you well darling [00:02:49]
No longer to stand"[00:02:51]
