Intro: I heard my neighbour's rooster crow Early in the day I heard his axe beyond the woods And now I'm bound away For some men love the city lights Some men crave the town I'll be bound for the lonesome woods And there I'll settle down Fiddle and a bow and a firelight low You can hear that lonesome sound I'll leave behind my troubling mind And go the whole world 'round The red squirrel leaves when the grey squirrel comes The eagle nests alone A hundred miles from a wagon track Is where I'll build my home Fiddle and a bow and a firelight low You can hear that lonesome sound I'll leave behind my troubling mind And go the whole world 'round INTERLUDE: I've seen the old man whittling wood I've seen the streets of town I'll pack my goods for the Arkansas woods And there I'll settle down And there I'll settle down now Fiddle and a bow and a firelight low You can hear that lonesome sound I'll leave behind my troubling mind And go the whole world 'round I'll leave behind my troubling mind And go the whole world 'round OUTRO:
