Daddy sang bass

** INTRO **

II remember when I was a lad
times were hard and things were bad
But there's a silver lining behind evry cloud
Just poor people, that's all we were
try'n' to make a living out of black land dirt
We'd get together in a family circle singin loud

Daddy sang bass, Mama sang tenor
me and little brother would join right in there
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 sang bass, Mama sang 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 singing for a counry 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
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 sang bass, Mama sang tenor
me and little brother will join right in there in the sky Lord in the sky
Lord in the sky
