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