Bluegrass Break Up - Tom T. Hall

Well, we’re finally breakin' up our bluegrass band

And the thought of it is more than I can stand

But if parting is a one chance to survive

You’ll take the dobro and I’ll take the five.

Once our music tore the world apart

When we used to pick and sing it from the heart

But then descention came into our lives

So you’ll take the dobro and I’ll take the five.

Once our world was harmony and fun

Wildwood Flower and ten-one mighty run

We can’t catch it up we made too many tries

So you’ll take the dobro and I’ll take the five.

--- Instrumental ---

Well, it’s time to pack it up and move along

It’s too late to argue now who’s right or wrong

Well, it’s plain the we can’t keep the group alive

So you’ll take the dobro and I’ll take the five.

Well, you know how much the band once meant to me

But there’s just no way to change what has to be

Well, I’d rather die than to see it amplify

So you’ll take the dobro and I’ll take the five.

Once our world was harmony and fun

Wildwood Flower and ten-one mighty run

We can’t catch it up we made too many tries

So you’ll take the dobro and I’ll take the five…
