Pullin’ Away The Kingston Trio

[Chorus]
Pullin' away, he's pullin away
Now his wagons are loaded, he's pullin' away

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Pullin' away, he's pullin away
Now his wagons are loaded, he's pullin' away

[Verse 3]
Your parents don't like me, they say I'm too poor
They say I'm not worthy to enter your door
Hard living's my pleasure
My money's my own
And if they don't like me, they can leave me alone
