Pullin' away, he's pullin away |
|
Now his wagons are loaded, he's pullin' away |
|
Hard luck is the fortune of all woman kind |
|
They're always controlled They're always confined |
|
Controlled by their parents until they are wives |
|
Then slaves of their husbands the rest of their lives |
|
I once knew a girl and her story was sad |
|
She always was courted by the wagoner lad |
|
He courted her truly by night and by day |
|
Now his wagons are loaded He's pullin' away |
|
Pullin' away, he's pullin away |
|
Now his wagons are loaded, he's pullin' away |
|
Your parents don't like me They think I'm too poor |
|
They think I'm not worth to enter your door |
|
Hard livin's my pleasure My money's my own and if they don't like me, they can leave me alone |
|
Long is the road Dark is the sky Look over your shoulder He's wavin' goodbye |
|
My wagon is loaded My whip needs a mend |
|
So sit down here by me for as long as you can |
|
My wagons are loaded My whip's in my hand |
|
So, fare thee well, darlin', I'm leavin' this land |
|
Pullin' away, he's pullin away |
|
Now his wagons are loaded, he's pullin' away |
