I heard my neighbor's rooster crow
Early in the day
I heard his axe beyond the hill
And now I'm bound away

For some men love the city life
Some men crave the town
But I'll be bound for the lonesome woods
Where I can settle down

[Chorus]
Fiddle and a bow and the fire light's glow
You can hear that lonesome sound
I'll leave behind my troublin' mind
And go the whole world 'round

The red squirrel leaves when the gray squirrel comes
The eagle nests alone
A hundred miles from a wagon track
Is where I'll build my home

[Chorus]

I've seen the old man whittlin' wood
I've seen the streets of town
I'll pack my goods for the Arkansas woods
And there I'll settle down

[Chorus: x2]
