Daddy Sang Bass

As when I was a little girl times were hard in this whole world

But there's a silver lining behind every cloud

Just poor people that's all we were tryin' to make a livin' out of black land dirt

We'd get together in a family circle and sing out loud

(Daddy sang bass mama sang tenor)

Me and little brother would join right in there

Singin' seems to help us 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

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

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 while

(Daddy sang bass)

In the sky Lord in the sky
