Tom T. Hall - Bluegrass Break-Up lyrics

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 dissension 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

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
