Circle left
Coleman Bonner was a fiddle playin' fool
He was a backwoods rounder and a trader of mules
Left allemande your corner, see saw round your taw
Men star left, go once around the hall
Turn your partner right, your corner allemande
Swing your lady round and round and promenade the land
*I'm gonna stay in Kentucky where the blue grass grows
I'm gonna play it all night on that new cut road

1 & 3 (2 & 4) square thru 4 hands around you go
Dosado your corner lady once around you know
Swing thru and then, you're gonna swing thru again
When you're through girls trade, girls run and then
Do a half tag, face to the right, swing the corner there
Left allemande and promenade the square
*We gonna get another wagon and a new pair of mules
We gonna move to Texas, we're just waitin' on you

1 & 3 (2 & 4) square thru 4 hands around you go
Dosado your corner lady, once around you know
Swing thru and then, you're gonna swing thru again
When you're through girls trade, girls run and then
Do a half tag, face to the right, touch 1/4 there
Follow your neighbor, half spread, swing and promenade the square
*He pulled out his fiddle and he rosined up his bow
And he played a little tune on the new cut road

1 & 3 (2 & 4) square thru 4 hands around you go
Dosado your corner lady, once around you know
Swing thru and then, you're gonna swing thru again
When you're through girls trade, girls run and then
Turn & deal, star thru, pass thru, chase right
Swing the one you're chasin', promenade tonight
*I'm gonna stay in Kentucky where the blue grass grows
I'm gonna fiddle all night on the new cut road
