Songtext Daddy sang bass Carl Perkins

Daddy sang bass

I remember when I was a lad
Times were hard and things were bad
But there's a silver linin' behind ev'ry cloud
Just four people that's all we wereTryin' to make a livin' out of black-land dirt
But we'd get together in a family circle singin' loud Daddy sang bass (mama sang tenor)
Me and little brother would join right in thereSingin' seems to help a troubled soul
One 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 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 singin' for a country mile
Now little brother has done gone on
But I'll rejoin him in a songWe'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'cause singin' seems to help a troubled soul
One of these days and it won't be longI'll rejoin them in a songI'm gonna join the family circle at the throne Oh 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
