Daddy Sang Bass

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 But we'd get together in a family circle singin' 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'll sing ba*s, Mama'll sing tenor Me and little brother will 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 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 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'll sing ba*s, Mama'll sing tenor Me and little brother will join right in there In the sky, Lord, in the sky In the sky, Lord, in the sky
