The Ballad of Barney Fife

[11 Bravo]

In a jailhouse, down in Dixie, fightin' crime and riskin' life,
Dwelled a sheriff and his buddy, pistol-packing Barney Fife.
Oh, my darin' oh, my darin', oh, my darin' Barney Fife,
He's a deadly crime-stopper, what a copper, Barney Fife.
Then one day there come a-ridin, two bad men to rob a bank.
But Fife was tricky, a dead-eye dickey, now they're locked up in the tank.

(Of course, Andy added the final verse)

Oh, my Barney, oh, my Barney, had a jail and couldn't lock it,
Had one bullet for his pistol, had to keep it in his pocket.

Here's to lawman Barney Fife. He will be missed.

1. Amen n/t

[Trevelyan]

2. The good ol' days -- the Beast is here now and we need to look for the

real Bethlehem Star and a New Heaven and New Earth. The last two chapters of the Bible, The Book of Revelations are about the eternal peace after Armeggedan.

The promises in the last chapter are encouraging.

Barney Fife and Don Knotts, rest in eternal peace.
