Verse 1:
    C            F                   C
Hard luck is the fortune of all woman kind
              Em                          F
They're always controlled. They're always confined
                    C                      F
Controlled by their parents until they are wives
C                    F                          C
Then slaves of their husbands the rest of their lives

I once knew a girl and her story was sad
              Em                       F
She always was courted by the wagoner lad
               C                     F
He courted her truly by night and by day
        C          F                    C
Now his wagons are loaded. He's pullin' away


Chorus:
Em     Dm    Em        Dm
Pullin' away, he's pullin away

Now his wagons are loaded, he's pullin' away


Verse 3:
             C          F                      C
Your parents don't like me. They think I'm too poor
              Em                        F
They think I'm not worthy to enter your door
               C                        F
Hard livin's my pleasure. My money's my own
       C               F                      C
and if they don't like me, they can leave me alone


Bridge:
Em         Dm    Em         Dm    Em           Dm        G           C

My wagon is loaded. My whip needs a mend
                 Em                        F
So sit down here by me for as long as you can
             C                         F
My wagons are loaded. My whip's in my hand
            C        F                          C
So, fare thee well, darlin', I'm leavin' this land

Pullin' away, he's pullin away
        C           F                   C
Now his wagons are loaded, he's pullin' away
