Daddy Sang Bass

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 and 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 Now one of these days and it won't be long I'll rejoin them in a song I'm gonna join that 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 I remember after work mama would call in all of us And 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 while (Daddy sang ba*s, mama sang tenor) Me and little brother would join right in there Singin' seems to help a troubled soul Now one of these days and it won't be long I'll rejoin them in a song I'm gonna join that 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
