Pullin' Away Lyrics - Kingston Trio

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
