Hard Is The Fortune Of All Womankind
- Lyrics & Chords

Oh, hard is the fortune of all womankind,
We're  always co ntrolled and we're always con fined,
And when we get  married to end all our  strife,
We're  slaves to our  husbands for the  rest of our lives.

All young girls, take warning, take warning from me,
Never place your affections on a young man so free,
They will hug you and kiss you and tell you more lies,
Than the cross-ties on the railroad or the stars in the sky.

Of meeting is a pleasure and parting is a grief,
And a false-hearted lover is worse than a thief,
For a thief will just rob you and take what you have,
But a false-hearted lover will make you his slave.

He'll call you his darling, he'll call you his pearl,
And go behind you with some other girl;
You'll cook just to please him and scrub all his floors,
And if you won't love him, he'll call you a whore.
