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 were | |
Tryin' 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 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 | |
I'm gonna join the family circle at the throne | |
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 | |
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 song | |
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 | |
'cause singin' seems to help a 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 | |
Oh no the circle won't be broken | |
By and by, Lord, by and by | |

In the sky, Lord, in the sky |

But we' d get together in a family circle singin' loud | |
