《New Cut Road》歌词

[00:00:01] New Cut Road - Bobby Bare

[00:00:08] Coalman Bonner was a fiddle playin' fool

[00:00:11] He was a backwoods rounder and a breaker of mules

[00:00:15] Coalman Bonner's got a wor' out bow

[00:00:19] He been playin' two days down a new cut road

[00:00:23] Now Coalman's little sister said you better act right Coleman

[00:00:27] Daddy's going to Louisville He'll be back tonight

[00:00:30] He gonna get another wagon and a good pair of mules

[00:00:34] Oh we gonna move to Texas We just waitin' on mules

[00:00:38] Now Coalman's Daddy he pulled up in the yard

[00:00:41] He said back up your lives kids it's getting too hard

[00:00:46] Kentucky's alright but there's too many people

[00:00:49] Well just the other day I thought I saw a church steeple

[00:00:53] Now Coalman said Daddy don't you worry 'bout me

[00:00:57] I'm gonna stay here in Kentucky till the day I dee

[00:01:00] I'm wanna drink that sour mash I'm gonna raise that mare

[00:01:04] Ya I got me a woman with a foxy red hair

[00:01:08] We all been movin' west since the day he got married

[00:01:12] I'm getting off the wagon I'm too old to be carried

[00:01:16] I'm gonna stay in Kentucky where the blue grass grows

[00:01:20] I'm gonna play it all night down a new cut road

[00:01:39] Now Coalman's Daddy said What's it all comin' to

[00:01:43] Young people these days are just stubborn as mules

[00:01:47] He can't make um go he's too old for that

[00:01:50] It's that damned ol' fiddle and that bowler hat

[00:01:54] Now Coalman's Momma said Let the boy stay

[00:01:58] 'Cause he's raised up solid he can find his own way

[00:02:02] But as for me Honey I'm with you

[00:02:06] Well I always thought Kentucky was just passin' through

[00:02:10] Coalman's little sister she started in a cry

[00:02:14] And her Daddy shook his head for the very last time

[00:02:18] Coalman's Momma said Somebody gotta do it

[00:02:21] Wouldn't be no Kentucky less you didn't stick to it Coalman

[00:02:26] Coalman Bonner stood on the porch of that cabin

[00:02:29] Watched um all go to Texas in a covered wagon

[00:02:33] He pulled out his fiddle and he rosined up his bow

[00:02:37] And he played a little tune down a new cut road
