Daddy Sang Bass

[ Nat ] I remember when I was a lad 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 singin' loud [ Both ] And daddy sings ba*s mama sings tenor me and little brother would join right in there Cause singin' seems to help a troubled soul One of these days and it won't be long we'll rejoin them in a song We'll join the family circle at the throne No the circle won't be broken by and by Lord by and by When daddy sings ba*s mama sings tenor Me and little brother would join right in there in the sky Lord in the sky [ Connie ] Well I remember after work mama would call in all of us And you could hear us singin' for a country mile Though little brother has done gone on we'll rejoin him in a song We'll be together again up yonder in a little while [ Both ] And daddy sings ba*s mama sings tenor... In the sky Lord in the sky
