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
Johnny Cash (Kingsland, Arkansas, 26 febbraio 1932 – Nashville, Tennessee, 12 settembre 2003) è stato un cantante, musicista e attore statunitense, considerato uno dei più influenti artisti della musica country. Nato in una famiglia contadina del profondo sud, Cash iniziò a cantare nella chiesa locale e ad ascoltare la musica country alla radio. Dopo il servizio militare in Germania, dove imparò a suonare la chitarra, si trasferì a Memphis e iniziò la sua carriera musicale. Il suo stile unico, caratterizzato da un'intensa voce baritonale e testi spesso autobiografici che affrontavano temi come la povertà, la giustizia sociale e la lotta contro le dipendenze, lo rese rapidamente popolare. Tra i suoi brani più famosi figurano "Ring of Fire", "I Walk the Line", "Folsom Prison Blues" e "A Boy Named Sue". Cash ha collaborato con numerosi artisti, tra cui June Carter Cash, sua moglie dal 1968 fino alla sua morte. Ha vinto numerosi premi, tra cui il Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award nel 1997. La sua musica continua ad essere apprezzata da generazioni di fan in tutto il mondo.
