Daddy Sang Bass
I remember when I was a ladTimes were hard and things were badBut there's a silver linin' behind every cloudJust poor people that's all we wereTryin' to make a livin' out of black land earthBut we'd get together in a family circle singin' loud
Daddy sang bass, Mama sang tenorMe and little brother would join right in thereSingin' seems to help a troubled soulOne of these days and it won't be longI'll rejoin them in a songI'm gonna join the family circle at the throne
No, the circle won't be brokenBy and by, Lord, by and byDaddy'll sing bass, Mama'll sing tenorMe and little brother will join right in thereIn the sky, Lord, in the sky
Now I remember after workMama would call in all of usYou could hear us singin' for a country mileNow little brother has done gone onBut I'll rejoin him in a songWe'll be together again up yonder in a little while
Daddy sang bass, Mama sang tenorMe and little brother would join right in thereSingin' seems to help a troubled soulOne of these days and it won't be longI'll rejoin them in a songI'm gonna join the family circle at the throne
No, the circle won't be brokenBy and by, Lord, by and byDaddy'll sing bass, Mama'll sing tenorMe and little brother will join right in thereIn the sky, Lord, in the skyIn the sky, Lord, in the sky
