Daddy Sang Bass (Live)

I remember when I was a lad

Times were hard and things were bad

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 dirt

We'd get together in a family circle singing loud

Daddy sang bass

Momma sang tenor

Me and little brother we'd join right in there

Singing seems to help a troubled soul

Well 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

Oh no, the circle, it won't be broken

By and by, Lord, by and by

Daddy sang bass

Momma sang tenor

Me and little brother we'd join right in there

In the sky, Lord, in the sky

Pick that banjo!

I remember after work

Momma would call in all of us

You could hear us singing for a country mile

Now little brother done gone on

We'll rejoin him in a song

We'll get together again up yonder in a little while

Daddy sang bass

Momma sang tenor

Me and little brother we'd join right in there

Singing seems to help a troubled soul

Well 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

Oh no, the circle, it won't be broken

By and by, Lord, by and by

I got it, I got it

Daddy sang bass

What about that big boy?

Momma sang tenor

Freak

Me and little brother we'd join right in there

In the sky, Lord, in the sky

In the sky, Lord, in the sky
