Wagoner's Lad Lyrics
Wagoner's Lad - Joan Baez (琼·贝兹)
Oh hard is the fortune of all woman kind
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 it 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 darlin I'll be on my way
Oh your wagen needs gricing your weep is to men
Then sit down here by me
As long as you can
My wagen is gricy
My weeps in my hand
So fare thee well darling
No longer to stand
