[00:05.89] I remember when I was a lad,
[00:08.26] times were hard and things were bad.
[00:10.89] But there's a silver lining behind every cloud.
[00:15.51] Just poor people, that's all we were.
[00:17.90] Trying to make a living out of black land dirt.
[00:20.40] We'd get together in a family circle singing loud.
[00:25.48] Daddy sang bass,
[00:26.79] Mama sang tenor.
[00:28.16] Me and little brother would join right in there.
[00:31.41] Singing seems to help a troubled soul.
[00:35.48] One of these days and it won't be long.
[00:37.87] I'll rejoin them in a song.
[00:40.18] I'm gonna join the family circle at the Throne.
[00:45.14] No, the circle won't be broken.
[00:50.01] By and by, Lord, by and by.
[00:55.01] Daddy sang bass,
[00:56.51] Mama sang tenor.
[00:57.89] Me and little brother would join right in there.
[01:00.21] In the sky, Lord, in the sky.
[01:04.53]
[01:10.03] Now I remember after work,
[01:12.55] Mama would call in all of us.
[01:15.18] You could hear us singing for a country mile.
[01:20.00] Now little brother has done gone on.
[01:22.37] But, I'll rejoin him in a song.
[01:24.71] We'll be together again up yonder in a little while.
[01:29.65] Daddy sang bass,
[01:31.21] Mama sang tenor.
[01:32.59] Me and little brother would join right in there.
[01:35.31] Cause singing seems to help a troubled soul.
[01:39.63] One of these days and it won't be long,
[01:42.25] I'll rejoin them in a song.
[01:44.68] I'm gonna join the family circle at the Throne.
[01:49.31] Oh, no the circle won't be broken.
[01:54.50] By and by, Lord, by and by.
[01:59.47] Daddy sang bass,
[02:01.03] Mama sang tenor.
[02:02.34] Me and little brother would join right in there.
[02:04.91] In the sky, Lord, in the sky.
[02:09.65] In the sky, Lord, in the sky.
