two columns

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic

Circle left
*Coleman Bonner was a fiddle playin' fool
A backwoods rounder and trader of mules

Reverse single file go walkin' I sing
Boys turn in and allemande left and weave the ring
Coleman said Kentucky is the place for me
Dosado and promenade you see
**I want to stay here in Kentucky where the bluegrass grows
Play the fiddle all night down on new cut road


FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Head couples promenade go halfway you know
Side 2 will do a right & left thru and go
Flutter wheel around, sweep 1/4 more
Pass thru, dosado, and eight chain 4
I want to stay in Kentucky till the day I please
Swing the corner, promenade for me
Coleman Bonner's got a wore-out bow
He's been playin' two days down on new cut road


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*Coleman's little sister said you'd better act right
Daddy's gone to Louisville, he'll be back tonight

**He took down his fiddle and rosin'd up his bow
Played a little tune called new cut road
