He courted me truly by night and by day; But now he is loaded and going away. Your horses are hungry, go give them some hay; Come sit dovm by me, darling, as long as you stay. My horses aren 1 t hungry, nor they won 1 t eat your hay; So fare you well, darling, I 1 ve no time to stay. He mounted his horses and away he did ride, And left the girl \'leeping on New River side; But when he returned, she. crowned him with joy, And kissed the sweet lips of the wagoner boy. I can love you right lightly, or I can love long, I can love an old sweetheart till a new one co es on, I can hug him and kiss him and keep him with ease, Then turn my back on him and court who I please. So hard is the fortune of poor womankind. They 1 re ahvays controlled and they 1 re always confined, Cont~led by their parents until they 1 re made wives, The n slaves for their husbands the rest of their lives. Young ladies, young ladies, take warning from me, Never cast your affection on a young man so free; He will hug you and kiss you and tell you more lies Than the leaves on the green trees or stars in the skies. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
