[00:00.00]Oh, hard is the fortune of all woman kind
[00:07.00]She's always controlled, she's always confined
[00:13.00]Controlled by her parents until she's a wife
[00:20.00]A slave to her husband the rest of her life
[00:27.00]Oh, I'm just a poor girl, my fortune is sad
[00:32.00]I've always been courted by the wagoner's lad
[00:39.00]He's courted me daily, by night and by day
[00:45.00]And now he is loading and going away
[00:52.00]Oh, my parents don't like him because he is poor
[00:58.00]They say he's not worthy of entering my door
[01:03.00]He works for a living, his money's his own
[01:09.00]And if they don't like it they can leave him alone
[01:15.00]Oh, your horses are hungry, go feed them some hay
[01:21.00]Then sit down here by me as long as you may
[01:28.00]My horses ain't hungry, they won't eat your hay
[01:34.00]So fare thee well darlin',  I'll be on my way
[01:39.00]Oh, your wagon needs greasing your whip is to mend
[01:47.00]Then sit down here by me as long as you can
[01:53.00]My wagon is greasy, my whip's in my hand
[02:01.00]So fare thee well darlin', no longer to stand
