New Cut Road - Bobby Bare[00:00:01]
Coalman Bonner was a fiddle playin' fool[00:00:08]
He was a backwoods rounder and a breaker of mules[00:00:11]
Coalman Bonner's got a wor' out bow[00:00:15]
He been playin' two days down a new cut road[00:00:19]
Now Coalman's little sister said you better act right Coleman[00:00:23]
Daddy's going to Louisville He'll be back tonight[00:00:27]
He gonna get another wagon and a good pair of mules[00:00:30]
Oh we gonna move to Texas We just waitin' on mules[00:00:34]
Now Coalman's Daddy he pulled up in the yard[00:00:38]
He said back up your lives kids it's getting too hard[00:00:41]
Kentucky's alright but there's too many people[00:00:46]
Well just the other day I thought I saw a church steeple[00:00:49]
Now Coalman said Daddy don't you worry 'bout me[00:00:53]
I'm gonna stay here in Kentucky till the day I dee[00:00:57]
I'm wanna drink that sour mash I'm gonna raise that mare[00:01:00]
Ya I got me a woman with a foxy red hair[00:01:04]
We all been movin' west since the day he got married[00:01:08]
I'm getting off the wagon I'm too old to be carried[00:01:12]
I'm gonna stay in Kentucky where the blue grass grows[00:01:16]
I'm gonna play it all night down a new cut road[00:01:20]
Now Coalman's Daddy said What's it all comin' to[00:01:39]
Young people these days are just stubborn as mules[00:01:43]
He can't make um go he's too old for that[00:01:47]
It's that damned ol' fiddle and that bowler hat[00:01:50]
Now Coalman's Momma said Let the boy stay[00:01:54]
'Cause he's raised up solid he can find his own way[00:01:58]
But as for me Honey I'm with you[00:02:02]
Well I always thought Kentucky was just passin' through[00:02:06]
Coalman's little sister she started in a cry[00:02:10]
And her Daddy shook his head for the very last time[00:02:14]
Coalman's Momma said Somebody gotta do it[00:02:18]
Wouldn't be no Kentucky less you didn't stick to it Coalman[00:02:21]
Coalman Bonner stood on the porch of that cabin[00:02:26]
Watched um all go to Texas in a covered wagon[00:02:29]
He pulled out his fiddle and he rosined up his bow[00:02:33]
And he played a little tune down a new cut road[00:02:37]
