Pullin' Away
Pullin' away, he's pullin' away
Now his wagons are loaded
He's pullin' away
Hard luck is the fortune of all woman kind
They're always controlled, they're always confined
Controlled by their parents until they are wives
Then slaves to their husbands the rest of their lives
I once knew a girl and her story was sad
She always was courted by the wagoner lad
He courted her truly by night and by day
Now his wagons are loaded he's pullin' away
Pullin' away, he's pullin' away
Now his wagons are loaded
He's pullin' away
Your parents don't like me they say I'm too poor
They say I'm not worth to enter your door
Hard livin' is my pleasure my money's my own
And if they don't like me they can leave me alone
Long is the road
Dark is the sky
Look over your shoulder
He's wavin' goodbye
My wagon is loaded my whip needs a mend
So sit down here by me for as long as you can
My wagons are loaded my whip's in my hand
So fare thee well darlin', I'm leavin' this land
Pullin' away, he's pullin away
Now his wagons are loaded
He's pullin' away
Now his wagons are loaded
He's pullin' away
Now his wagons are loaded
He's pullin' away
Hard luck is the fortune of all woman kind
They're always controlled, they're always confined
Controlled by their parents until they are wives
Then slaves to their husbands the rest of their lives
I once knew a girl and her story was sad
She always was courted by the wagoner lad
He courted her truly by night and by day
Now his wagons are loaded he's pullin' away
Pullin' away, he's pullin' away
Now his wagons are loaded
He's pullin' away
Your parents don't like me they say I'm too poor
They say I'm not worth to enter your door
Hard livin' is my pleasure my money's my own
And if they don't like me they can leave me alone
Long is the road
Dark is the sky
Look over your shoulder
He's wavin' goodbye
My wagon is loaded my whip needs a mend
So sit down here by me for as long as you can
My wagons are loaded my whip's in my hand
So fare thee well darlin', I'm leavin' this land
Pullin' away, he's pullin away
Now his wagons are loaded
He's pullin' away
Now his wagons are loaded
He's pullin' away
