New Cut Road - Guy Clark[00:00:00]
Coleman Bonner was a fiddle playing fool[00:00:10]
He's a backwoods rounder and a breaker of mules[00:00:13]
Coleman bonner's got a wore out bow[00:00:18]
He's been playing two days down the new cut road[00:00:21]
Coleman's little sister said you better act right coleman[00:00:25]
Daddy's gone to Louisville he'll be back tonight[00:00:30]
He's gonna get another wagon and a good pair of mules[00:00:33]
And we gonna move to texas we just waiting on you[00:00:37]
Now coleman's daddy he pulled up in the yard[00:00:41]
He said pack up your lives kids it's getting too hard[00:00:45]
Kentucky's alright[00:00:49]
But there's too many people[00:00:51]
Oh just the other day I thought I saw a church steeple[00:00:53]
Now coleman said daddy don't you worry 'bout me[00:00:57]
I'm gonna stay here in Kentucky till the day I d[00:01:01]
I'm gonna drink that sourmash and gonna race that mare[00:01:05]
And find that woman with the fox red hair[00:01:10]
Now you all been moving west since the day you got married[00:01:14]
Well I'm getting off the wagon daddy[00:01:18]
I'm too old to be carried[00:01:19]
Gonna stay here in Kentucky where that bluegrass grow[00:01:22]
I'm gonna play it all night down the new cut road[00:01:26]
Now coleman's daddy said what's it all comming to[00:01:45]
Young people these days are just as stubborn as mules[00:01:50]
You can't make him go[00:01:54]
He's too old for that[00:01:56]
It's that damned old fiddle and that bowler hat[00:01:58]
Now coleman's mama said let the boy stay[00:02:02]
'Cause he's raised up solid and he can find his own way[00:02:05]
But as for me honey I'm with you[00:02:10]
I always thought Kentucky was just passing through[00:02:14]
Now coleman's little sister then she started into a crying[00:02:18]
And his daddy shook his head for the very last time[00:02:22]
Coleman's mama said somebody's gotta do it[00:02:26]
Wouldn't be no Kentucky less you didn't stick to it coleman[00:02:30]
Coleman booner stood on the porch of that cabin[00:02:35]
And he watched 'em all go to texas in a covered wagon[00:02:38]
He pulled out his fiddle and he rosined up his bow[00:02:42]
And he played a little tune called the new cut road[00:02:46]
