Daddy Sang Bass

Well I remember when I was a lad times were hard and things were bad, But there's a silver lining behind every cloud. Well just a simple people, that's all we were Tryin' to make a livin' out a black land dirt We'd get together in a family circle singin' loud! And Daddy sang bass, Mamma sang tenor, Me and little brother would join right in there Singin' seems to soothe a troubled soul One day soon, and it won't be long, I'll rejoin them with a song. Well I'm gonna join the family circle at the throne! No the circle won't be broke By and by Lord, by and by And Daddy sang bass, Mamma sang tenor, Me and little brother would join right in there In the sky, Lord, in the sky And we were singin' (Singin') Singin' (Singin') Singin' in harmony (And we were singin') Singin' (Singin') Singin' (Singin' in harmony!) Well I remember after work, Mamma would call in all of us Well you could hear us singin' for a country mile! Now little brother's done gone on, But I'll rejoin him with a song We'll be singin' again up yonder in a little while! And Daddy sang bass, Mamma sang tenor, Me and little brother would join right in there Singin' seems to soothe a troubled soul One day soon, and it won't be long, I'll rejoin them with a song. Well I'm gonna join the family circle at the throne Oh the circle won't be broken, By and by Lord, by and by. And Daddy sang bass, Mamma 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! In the sky, Lord, in the sky!
