Coalman Bonner was a fiddle playin' fool

He was a backwoods rounder

and a breaker of mules

Coalman Bonner's got a wor' out bow

He been playin' two days down a new cut road

Now Coalman's little sister said

you better act right Coleman

Daddy's going to Louisville

He'll be back tonight

He gonna get another wagon

and a good pair of mules

Oh we gonna move to Texas

We just waitin' on mules

Now Coalman's

Daddy he pulled up in the yard

He said back up your lives kids it's

getting too hard

Kentucky's alright but there's too many people

Well just the other day

I thought I saw a church steeple

Now Coalman said

Daddy don't you worry bout me

I'm gonna stay here in

Kentucky till the day I dee

I'm wanna drink that sour mash

I'm gonna raise that mare

Ya I got me a woman with a foxy red hair

We all been movin' west since

the day he got married

I'm getting off the wagon

I'm too old to be carried

I'm gonna stay in Kentucky

where the blue grass grows

I'm gonna play it all night down a new cut road

Now Coalman's

Daddy said What's it all comin' to

Young people these days are

just stubborn as mules

He can't make um go he's too old for that

It's that damned ol' fiddle and that bowler hat

Now Coalman's Momma said Let the boy stay

'Cause he's raised up solid he

can find his own way

But as for me Honey I'm with you

Well I always thought

Kentucky was just passin' through

Coalman's little sister she started in a cry

And her Daddy shook his head

for the very last time

Coalman's Momma said

Somebody gotta do it

Wouldn't be no

Kentucky less you didn't stick to it Coalman

Coalman Bonner stood on

the porch of that cabin

Watched um all go to

Texas in a covered wagon

He pulled out his fiddle

and he rosined up his bow

And he played a little tune down

a new cut road
