Johnny Cash - New Cut Road Lyrics

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