Oh, hard is the fortune of all womankind She's always controlled, she's always confined Controlled by her parents until she's a wife A slave to her husband the rest of her life Oh, I'm just a poor girl, my fortune is sad I've always been courted by the wagoner's lad He's courted me daily by night and by day And now he is loading and going away Oh, my parents don't like him because he is poor They say he's not worthy of entering my door He works for a living, his money's his own And if they don't like him they can leave him alone

Oh, your horses are hungry, go feed them some hay Then sit down here by me as long as you may My horses ain't hungry, they won't eat your hay So fare thee well, darling, I'll be on my way Oh, your wagon needs greasing, your whip's for to mend Then sit down here by me as long as you can My wagon is greasy, my whip's in my hand So fare thee well, darling, no longer to stand
