[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.
