《The Wagoner’s Lad》歌词

[00:00:00] The Wagoner's Lad - Preston Young

[00:00:14] Oh hard is the fortune of all womankind

[00:00:21] They're always controlled;

[00:00:25] They're always confined

[00:00:29] Controlled by their parents

[00:00:33] Until they are wives

[00:00:37] Then slaves to their

[00:00:38] Husbands the rest of their lives

[00:00:44] I've been a poor girl;

[00:00:48] My fortune is sad

[00:00:52] I've always been courted

[00:00:55] By the Wagoner's Lad

[00:01:00] He courted me daily

[00:01:03] By night and by day

[00:01:08] And now he is loaded and going away

[00:01:26] "Your parents don't

[00:01:29] Like me because I am poor

[00:01:34] They say I'm not worthy

[00:01:37] Of entering your door

[00:01:41] I work for my living;

[00:01:45] My money's my own

[00:01:49] And if they don't like me

[00:01:52] They can leave me alone"

[00:01:56] "Your horses are hungry;

[00:02:00] Go feed them some hay

[00:02:04] Come sit down here

[00:02:05] By me as long as you stay"

[00:02:12] "My horses ain't hungry;

[00:02:15] They won't eat your hay

[00:02:20] So fare you well darling;

[00:02:22] I'll be on my way"

[00:02:27] "Your wagon needs greasing;

[00:02:30] Your whip is to mend

[00:02:34] Come sit down her

[00:02:35] By me as long as you can"

[00:02:41] "My wagon is greasy;

[00:02:45] My whip's in my hand

[00:02:49] So fare you well darling

[00:02:51] No longer to stand"
