Daddy Sang Bass

As when I was a little girl Times were hard in this whole world But there's a silver lining behind every cloud Just poor people That's all we were Tryin' to make a living out of black land dirt We'd get together in a family circle and sing out loud Daddy sang bass Mama sang tenor Me and little brother would join right in there Singin' seems to help us 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 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 Now 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 while Daddy sang bass In the sky Lord, in the sky
