Daddy Sang Bass Lyrics

I remember when I was a lad
Times were hard and things were bad
But there's a silver linin' behind every cloud
Just poor people that's all we were
Tryin' to make a livin' out of black land earth
We'd get together in a family circle singin' loud

Daddy sang ba*s, mama sang tenor
And me and little brother would join right in there
All 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
Bye and bye Lord, bye and bye
Daddy'll sing ba*s, mama'll sing tenor
Me and little brother will join right in there
In the sky Lord, in the sky

I remember after work, mama would call in all of us
You could hear us singin' 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 little while

Daddy sang ba*s, mama sang tenor
And me and little brother would join right in there
All 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
Bye and bye, Lord, bye and bye
Daddy'll sing ba*s, mama'll sing tenor
And me and little brother would join right in there
In the sky Lord, in the sky
In the sky Lord, in the sky
