Duel Between a Fiddle and a Banjo - Rusty York & Lonnie Mack

And so once again, My dear Johnny, my dear friend, And so once again you are fighting us all, And when I ask you why You raise your sticks and cry, and I fall, Oh, my friend, How did you come? To trade the fiddle for the drum You say I have turned, Like the enemies you've earned, But i can remember, All the good things you are And so I ask you please, Can i help you find the peace and the star?, Oh, my friend, What time is this? To trade the handshake for the fist And so once again, Oh, America my friend, And so once again You are fighting us all, And when we ask you why, You raise your sticks and cry and we fall, Oh, my friend How did you come, To trade the fiddle for the drum You say we have turned, Like the enemies you've earned But we can remember, All the good things you are, And so we ask you please, Can we help you find the peace and the star? Oh my friend, We have all come, To fear the beating of your drum.

Heywood was a daddy in 1942 He couldn't read or make his letters He said, "Boy, I hope you don't do like I did" And that was my dad he was talking to So, my father grew up stronger Bigger dreams and bigger plans The first to go to college But he can still work hard with his two hands Thanks to his old man Yeah, he learned to throw a baseball How to sail a fishing line He learned about forgiveness 'Cause you just can't waste the time And the circle goes unbroken But there's so much left undone That's just how it is Between a father and a son Well, I became a daddy At the age of twenty-three I didn't know what I was doing And my daddy wouldn't [Incomprehensible] I felt lost at sea So, I just kept it simple Took it one day at a time And followed in the foot-steps Of the men that came before me in my life And we're doing just fine 'Cause you learn to throw a baseball How to sail a fishing line And you learn about forgiveness 'Cause you just can't waste the time And the circle goes unbroken But there's so much left undone But that's just how it is Between a father and a son And the circle goes unbroken But there's so much left undone And that's just how it is Oh, that's just how it is Between a father and a son A father and a son Between a father and a son
