Now Cole's little sister said, you'd better act right, Cole [E] Daddy's gone to Louisville, he'll be back tonight
He gonna get another wagon and a good pair of mutes [A] Oh, we gonna move to Texas, we just waiting on you
Now, Coleman's daddy pulled up in the yard He said, [E] back up your lives, kid, it's getting too hard
_ Kentucky's alright, but there's too many people [A] Oh, just the other day I thought I saw a dirt snake
Now, Coleman said, Daddy, don't you worry about me I'm gonna [E] stay here in Kentucky till the day I die
I'm gonna drink that sour-mang, I'm gonna race that mare Yeah, [A] I got me a woman with a boxy red hair
Boy, y'all been moving west since the day we got married I'm [E] getting off the wagon, I'm too old to be carried

Now, Coleman's daddy said, what's it all come to?
Young [E] people these days are just stubborn as mules
You can't make them, you're too old for that Here's [A] that damn doe fiddling that bowler hat
Now, Coleman's mama said, let the boy stay Cause [E] he's raised up solid, he can find his own way
But as for me, now, honey, I'm with you [A] Boy, I always thought Kentucky was just passing through
Coleman's little sister, she started in a cry [E] And his daddy shook his head for the very last time
_ Coleman's mama said, somebody got to do it [A] Wouldn't be no Kentucky less you didn't stick through it, Coleman
_ Coleman Bonner stood on the porch of Zach Gabbin [E] Watched them all go to Texas in a coven wagon
He pulled out his fiddle and he roused up his bow And he [A] played a little tune in the causin' Newcutt Road _ _ _ _ _ _ _
