Oh hard is the fortune of all womankind |
| [00:22.01] |
They're always controlled; they're always confined |
| [00:29.76] |
Controlled by their parents until they are wives |
| [00:37.38] |
Then slaves to their husbands the rest of their lives |
| [00:45.58] |
I've been a poor girl; my fortune is sad |
| [00:52.33] |
I've always been courted by the Wagoner's Lad |
| [00:59.93] |
He courted me daily, by night and by day |
| [01:08.20] |
And now he is loaded and going away |
| [01:26.86] |
"Your parents don't like me because I am poor |
| [01:34.13] |
They say I'm not worthy of entering your door |
| [01:41.82] |
I work for my living; my money's my own |
| [01:49.70] |
And if they don't like me, they can leave me alone" |
| [01:56.93] |
"Your horses are hungry; go feed them some hay |
| [02:04.20] |
Come sit down here by me as long as you stay" |
| [02:12.08] |
"My horses ain't hungry; they won't eat your hay |
| [02:19.91] |
So fare you well, darling; I'll be on my way" |
| [02:27.24] |
"Your wagon needs greasing; your whip is to mend |
| [02:34.49] |
Come sit down her by me as long as you can" |
| [02:41.89] |
"My wagon is greasy; my whip's in my hand |
| [02:49.49] |
So fare you well darling, no longer to stand" |
| [02:56.27] |
