Em  Dm Em Dm



[Chorus]
Em     Dm    Em        Dm
Pullin' away, he's pullin away
        C           F                   C
Now his wagons are loaded, he's pullin' away

[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


[Verse 2]
C              F                      C
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
        C           F                   C
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
Long is the road. Dark is the sky. Look over your shoulder. He's wavin' goodbye


[Verse 4]
C             F                       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

[Chorus]
Em      Dm     Em        Dm
Pullin' away, he's pullin away
        C           F                   C
Now his wagons are loaded, he's pullin' away
