A muscian friend of mine sings this. (These evenings he is busy playing league baseball so I won't see him until the fall.)

I would like to have the lyrics but I'm not able to give much direction to it. One discovers late in the song that it is Huck Finn who is speaking to Tom Sawyer. Tom is a successful businessman/lawyer/whatever while Huck hasn't changed much.

I no longer remember who wrote the song but I assume it is a fairly recent one.

Does anyone know this song? Mudcatters haven't failed me yet!

I don't know the song, but I can't see it as likely. Huck Finn would have been way out west; Tom would have died in the civil war, leading a gallant but futile Confederate cavalry charge.

*grin* That's not what actually happened. Tom is drinking the good stuff while Huck is still making do with rotgut.

It really is a good song, kind of nostalgic and bittersweet at the same time.
