I`d love to hear my daddy play once again All the songs that he taught me when I was a kid John Henry, Ol` Shep and Faded Love I Fall To Pieces and On The Wings Of A Dove
Just a few chords on the banjo that was all he knew But in the eyes of a child, man his fingers flew I practiced and I practiced `til I got it right Packed up everything and just took off one night
I made it from the beer joints to the Opry stage He said the only difference is what you`re gettin` paid He didn`t care that everybody knew my name He said it`s all for nothin` if you don`t stay the same
And when he died the preacher cried and said he`s the lucky one He`s walkin` hand in hand with God`s only son My faith and common sense tell me the preacher`s right But I`d love to hear the banjo ring for me tonight
I will honor my father with these words I write down And as long as I remember him he`ll always be around And the pain of losin` him cuts like a Randall knife I learned a few chords on the banjo as the key to life Yeah the pain of losin` him cuts like a Randall knife I learned a few chords on the banjo as the key to life
