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 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
	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
