  22 <p>The version from Oct 19 1988 sounds one half step lower, but it is
  23 definitely played with the chords below. Either the tape is slow, or
  24 the guitars are tuned down (not likely).</p>

  26 <p>Cadd2 = x32030 or x32033</p>

  28 <p>The last line of each verse is played (more or less):</p>

  41    G                      C/g      G     C/g G
  42 Oh hard is the fortune of all womankind
  43      G                       G /b   /c D    Dsus4 D
  44 It's always controlled, it's always confined
  45    D              G             /b   /c D
  46 Controlled by her parents until she's a wife
  47      Cadd2 /b /a  /c /b   /a      /c   /b /a  G
  48 Then slave to her husband for the rest of her life
  49
  50 She is a poor girl, and her fortune is sad
  51 always been courted by the wagoner's lad
  52 He courted her truly both night and by day
  53 But now he is a-loaded and a-going away
  54
  55 Your parents don't like me they say I'm too poor
  56 They say I'm not worthy to enter your door
  57 But I work for a living, my money's my own
  58 And them that don't like it can leave me alone
  59
  60 My horses ain't hungry, and they don't need your hay
  61 Come sit down beside me for as long as you stay
  62 I'd go to Montana if the moon showed any light,
  63 But my pony can't travel this dark road tonight.
  64
  65 I once had a sweetheart and her age was sixteen
  66 She's the flower of Belton and the rose of Seline.
  67 But her parents was against me, now she is the same,
  68 If I'd writ on your book, love, you just blot out my name.
  69
  70 Hard is the fortune of all womankind
  71 It's always controlled, and it's always confined
  72 Controlled by her parents until she's a wife
  73 Then slave to her husband for the rest of her life.
