[Em] [A]
[E] He's a packwoods rounder and a breaker of mules.
Coleman Bonner's got a wore out bow.
He [A] even played two days down a new kind of road.
Now Coleman's little sister said you better act right Cole.
[E] Daddy's gonna love him, he'll be back tonight.
He's gonna get another wagon and a good pair of mules.
[A] And we're gonna move to Texas, we're just waiting on him.
Now Coleman's daddy, he pulled up in the yard.
[E] And he said fight for your lives kids, it's getting too hard.
Kentucky's alright, but there's too many feebles.
[A] Just the other day I thought I saw a church steeble.
Now Coleman said daddy don't you worry about me.
[E] I'm gonna stay here in Kentucky till the day I die.
I'm gonna race that mare, that sour mare.
[A] Got me a woman with the fox red hair.
Now y'all [Am] been moving west since the day you [A] got married.
[E] Well I'm getting off the wagon daddy, I'm too old to be carried.
I'm gonna stay here in Kentucky where that bluegrass grows.
[A] I'm gonna play it all night down the new cut road.

Coleman's daddy said now what's it all coming to?
[E] Young Ely's days are just as stubborn as mules.
Well you can't make him go, he's too old for that.
[A] It's that damn old fiddle and that bowler hat.
Coleman's mama said let the boy stay.
[E] Cause he was raised a solid and he can find his own way.
But as for me honey, I'm with you.
[A] And I always thought Kentucky was just passing through.
Coleman's little sister, she started in a crime.
[E] His daddy shook his head for the very last time.
Coleman's mama said somebody gotta [A] do it.
Well it wouldn't be no Kentucky unless you didn't stick to it, Cole.
Coleman Bonner stood on the porch of that cabin.
And [E] he watched them all go to Texas in a covered wagon.
And he pulled out his fiddle and he rosin'd up his bow.
[A] And he played a little tune called the new cut road.
