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 Trying to make a living out of black land earth We'd get together in a family circle singing aloud Daddy sang bass, Mama sang tenor Me and little brother would join right in there Oh, singing 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 bass, 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 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 little while Daddy sang bass, Mama sang tenor Me and little brother would join right in there Oh, singing 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 bass, 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
