Whole World 'Round

I hear my neighbor's rooster crow early in the day
I heard his ax 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

Fiddle and a bow in a firelight's glow
You can hear that lonesome sound
I'll leave behind my trouble in mind
And go the whole world round

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

Fiddle and a bow in a firelight's glow
You can hear that lonesome sound
I'll leave behind my trouble in mind
And go the whole world round

I 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

Fiddle and a bow in a firelight's glow
You can hear that lonesome sound
I'll leave behind my trouble in mind
And go the whole world round

Fiddle and a bow in a firelight's glow
You can hear that lonesome sound
I'll leave behind my trouble in mind
And go the whole world round
