A restless breed the early pioneer

And when the settlements got too near

He'd just pull up stakes and move on West

When I first come to old Kaintuck

There was plenty of room to breathe

I could shoot out the window and bag a buck

The bear and the beaver were all around

Now they're cuttin' the timber

And plowin' the ground

They're closin' in around my nest

Gotta pull up stakes and move on West

I used to go for months on end

With never a soul in sight

But now the folks are pourin' in

Why I found out just the other day

I got a gol-darned neighbor 'bout a mile away

They're closin' in around my nest

Gotta pull up stakes and move on West

Goodbye home where once the livin' was the best

It's plain to see they're crowdin' me

I gotta pull up stakes and move on West

Out West they say the land is new

As far as the eye can see

There's plenty of game and timber too

It's Injun country but I don't care

For elbow room I'll risk my hair

They're closin' in around my nest

Gotta pull up stakes and move on West

Goodbye home where once the livin' was the best

It's plain to see they're crowdin' me

I gotta pull up stakes and move on West
