Coleman Bonner was a fiddle-playing fool [C#] He's a backwoods rounder and a breaker of mutes
Coleman Bonner's got a wore-out bow [F#] He's been playing two days down the new-cut road
Coleman's little sister said, you better act right, Coleman [C#] Daddy's gone to Louisville, he'll be back tonight
He's gonna get another [B] wagon [C#] and a good pair of mutes And [F#] we're gonna move to Texas, we're just waiting on you
Now Coleman's daddy, he pulled up in the yard He said, [C#] pack up your lives, kids, it's getting too hard
Kentucky's alright, but there's too many [F#] people Why, just the other day I thought I saw a church steeple
Coleman said, Daddy, don't you worry about me [C#] I'm gonna stay here in Kentucky till the day I'm me
[G#m] I'm gonna drink that sour [C#] mash, I'm gonna race that mare [F#] Well, I got me a woman with a fox-red hair
Now y'all been moving west since the day you got married [C#] I'm getting off the wagon, Daddy, I'm too old to be caring
I'm gonna stay here in Kentucky where the bluegrass grow [F#] I'm gonna play it all night down the new-cut road

[F#] Now Coleman's daddy said, what's it all coming to?
[C#] Young people these days are just as stubborn as mules
You can't make him go, he's too old for that [F#] It's that blam-go fiddle and that bowler hat
Now Coleman's mama said, let the boy stay [C#m] [C#] He's raised up solid, he can find his own way
But as for me, honey, I'm with you [F#] I always thought Kentucky was just passing through
Now Coleman's little sister, then she started in a crime [C#] His daddy shook his head for the very last time
Coleman's mama said, somebody's [A#m] gotta do it [F#] There wouldn't be no Kentucky lest you didn't stick to it, Coleman
Coleman Bonner stood on the porch of that cabin [C#] Watched them all go to Texas in cover [C#] wagons
He pulled out his fiddle, he'd risen up his [F#] bow And he played a little tune called the new [F#m]-cut road
