Kingston Trio Pullin` Away Lyrics

Pullin` Away Lyrics

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
