เพลง The Wagoner's Lad

The Wagoner's Lad - Kossoy Sisters

Oh hard is the fortune of all woman kind

There always controlled there always confined

Controlled by her parents until she's a wife

Then a slave to their husband the rest of their 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 he is going away

Oh your parents don't like me they say I'm too poor

They say I'm not worthy of entering your door

I works for a living My money's my own

And if they don't like me they can leave me alone

Oh your horses are hungry go feed them some hay

Then sit down here by me as long as you stay

My horses ain't hungry they won't eat your hay

So fare you well darlin I'll be on no way

Oh your wagon needs greasing your whip is 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 you well darlin no longer to stand

Oh
