Coleman Bonner was a fiddle playin' foolHe's a backwoods rounder and a breaker of mulesColeman Bonner's got a wore out bowHe's been playin' all day down the new cut roadColeman's little sister said you better act right ColemanDaddy's gone to Louisville he'll be back tonightHe's gonna get another wagon and a good pair of mulesAnd we gonna move to Texas we just waitin' on youColeman's daddy pulled up in the yardHe said pack up your lives kids it's gettin' too hardKentucky's alright but there's too many peopleJust the other day I thought I saw a church steepleColeman said daddy don't you worry bout meI'm gonna stay here in Kentucky till the day I dI'm gonna drink that sourmash and gonna race that mareAnd find that woman with the fox red hairNow you all been movin' west since the day you got marriedWell I'm gettin' off the wagon daddy I'm too old to be carriedGonna stay here in Kentucky where the bluegrass growI'm gonna play it all night down the new cut roadColeman's daddy said now what's it all comn' toYoung people these days are just as stubborn as mulesYou can't make him go he's too old for thatIt's that damned old fiddle and that bowler hatColeman's mama said let the boy stayHe's raised up solid and he can find his own wayBut as for me honey I'm with youI always thought Kentucky was just passin' throughColeman's little sister then she started into a cryin'And his daddy shook his head for the very last timeColeman's mama said somebody's gotta do itWouldn't be no Kentucky less you didn't stick to it ColemanColeman Booner stood on the porch of that cabinWatched 'em all go to Texas in a covered wagonHe pulled out his fiddle and he rosined up his bowAnd he played a little tune called the new cut road
