Coleman Bonner was

A fiddle playin fool

He's a backwoods rounder

And a breaker of mules

Coleman Bonner's

Got a wore out bow

He's been playin all day

Down the new cut road

Coleman's little sister said

You better act right Coleman

Daddy's gone to Louisville

He'll be back tonight

He's gonna get another

Wagon and a good pair of mules

And we gonna move to

Texas we just waitin on you

Coleman's daddy pulled

Up in the yard

He said pack up your

Lives kids it's gettin too hard

Kentucky's alright but

There's too many people

Just the other day

I thought I saw a church steeple

Coleman said daddy

Don't you worry 'bout me

I'm gonna stay here in Kentucky

Till the day I d

I'm gonna drink that sourmash

And gonna race that mare

And find that woman

With the fox red hair

Now you all been movin west

Since the day you got married

Well I'm gettin off the wagon

Daddy I'm too old to be carried

Gonna stay here in Kentucky

Where the bluegrass grow

I'm gonna play it all night down

The new cut road

Coleman's daddy said now

What's it all comin to

Young people these days are

Just as stubborn as mules

You can't make him go

He's too old for that

It's that damned old fiddle

And that bowler hat

Coleman's mama said let the boy stay

He's raised up solid and

He can find his own way

But as for me honey

I'm with you

I always thought Kentucky

Was just passin through

Coleman's little sister then

She started into a cryin

And his daddy shook

His head for the very last time

Coleman's mama said

Somebody's gotta do it

Wouldn't be no Kentucky

Less you didn't stick to it Coleman

Coleman Booner stood

On the porch of that cabin

Watched em 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 called the new cut road
