[A]
Oh, the heart is a fortune [D] of [A] all mankind
[E] They're [A] always controlled, they're [E] always confined
Controlled [A] by their parents [D] [A] until [E] they are wives
[Am] And enslaved to their husbands [D] the rest of [E] their lives
I
[A] am a poor girl, [D] my fortune [A] is sad
[E] I've always [A] been courted [D]
[A] by the [E] wagoner's lad
He courted [A] me daily, by night [E] and by day
[A] Now his wagon is loaded [D] and he's going [E] away
[A]
[D] [E]
[A] Your parents don't like [D] me because [A] I am poor
They [E] say [A] I'm not worthy of [E] entering your door
But I work [A] for my living, all my [E] money's my own
[A] And if they don't like [D] me, they can leave [E] me alone
[A] Your horses are hungry, [D] go feed [A] them some hay
Come [E] sit [A] down here by me as long [E] as you stay
My [A] horses ain't hungry, [D] [A] they won't [E] eat your hay
[A] So fare thee well, [D] darling, I'll feed [E] on my way

[E] Come sit down [A] here by me as long [E] as you can
My [A] wagon is greasy, [D] [A] my whip's in [E] my hand
[A] So fare thee well, darling, [D] no [Em] longer to [D] stand
[C#m] [E] Oh, [A] the heart is a fortune [D] of all [A] mankind
[E] They're always [A] controlled, they're [E] always confined
Controlled [A] by their parents until [E] they are wise
