New Cut Road (Remastered Live Version) - Emmylou Harris[00:00:01]
Coleman Bonner was a fiddle playin fool[00:01:02]
He's a backwoods rounder and a breaker of mules[00:01:06]
Coleman Bonner's got a wore out bow[00:01:10]
He's been playin all day down the new cut road[00:01:13]
Coleman's little sister said you better act right[00:01:17]
Daddy's gone to Louisville he'll be back tonight[00:01:21]
He's gonna get another wagon and a good pair of mules[00:01:24]
And we gonna move to Texas we just waitin on you[00:01:28]
Coleman's daddy pulled up in the yard[00:01:32]
He said pack up your lives kids it's gettin too hard[00:01:36]
Kentucky's alright but there's too many people[00:01:40]
Just the other day I thought I saw a church steeple[00:01:44]
Coleman said daddy don't you worry bout me[00:01:47]
I'm gonna stay here in Kentucky till the day I d[00:01:51]
I'm gonna drink that sourmash and gonna race that mare[00:01:55]
And find that woman with the fox red hair[00:01:58]
Now you all been movin west since the day you got married[00:02:02]
Well I'm gettin off the wagon daddy I'm too old to be carried[00:02:06]
Gonna stay here in Kentucky where the bluegrass grow[00:02:10]
I'm gonna play it all night down the new cut road[00:02:13]
Coleman's daddy said now what's it all comn to[00:02:33]
Young people these days are just as stubborn as mules[00:02:36]
You can't make him go he's too old for that[00:02:40]
It's that damned old fiddle and that bowler hat[00:02:43]
Coleman's mama said let the boy stay[00:02:48]
He's raised up solid and he can find his own way[00:02:51]
But as for me honey I'm with you[00:02:55]
I always thought Kentucky was just passin through[00:02:58]
Coleman's little sister then she started into a cryi[00:03:03]
And his daddy shook his head for the very last time[00:03:06]
Coleman's mama said somebody's gotta do it[00:03:10]
Wouldn't be no Kentucky less you didn't stick to it[00:03:13]
Coleman Booner stood on the porch of that cabin[00:03:17]
Watched em all go to Texas in a covered wagon[00:03:21]
He pulled out his fiddle and he rosined up his bow[00:03:25]
And he played a little tune called the new cut road[00:03:28]
