Daddy Sang Bass Lyrics

I remember poor old dad times
Were hard and things were bad
But there's a silver lining behind every cloud

Just poor people that's all we were tryin' to make
A livin' out of black land dirt
We'd get together in a family circle sing out loud

(Daddy sang ba*s, mama sang tenor)
Me and little brother would join right in there
Singin' seems to help a troubled soul

One of these days and it won't be long I'll rejoin them in a song
I'm gonna join the family circle at the throne
No the circle won't be broken, by and by, Lord, by and by

(Daddy sang ba*s, mama sang tenor)
Me and little brother would join right in there
In the sky, Lord in the sky

Now I remember after work mama would call in all of us
You could hear us singing for a country mile
Now little brother has done gone on but I'll rejoin him in a song
We'll be together again up yonder in a while

(Daddy sang ba*s, mama sang tenor)
Me and little brother would join right in there
In the sky, Lord in the sky
