Daddy Sang Bass

Well

I remember when I was a lad

Times were hard and things were bad

There's a silver linin' behind ev'ry cloud

Just four people that's all we were

Tryin' to make a livin' 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

Singin' seems to help a troubled soul

One of these days and it won't be long

I'll rejoin them in a song

Though the circle won't be broken

By and by lord by and by

Daddy sang bass 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

You could hear us singin' for a country mile

Now little brother has done gone on

But I'll rejoin him all to long

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

No the circle won't be broken

By and by lord by and by

Daddy sang bass mama sang tenor

Me and little brother would join right in there

In the sky lord in the sky

In the sky lord in the sky
