Daddy Sang Bass Lyrics

(Carl Perkins)

I remember when I was a lad times were hard and things were bad
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 singin' loud.

And daddy sings bass, mama sings 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
We'll rejoin them in a song
We'll join the family circle at the throne.

No the circle won't be broken
By and by Lord, by and by
When daddy sings bass, mama sings tenor
Me and little brother would join right in there
In the sky Lord, in the sky.

Well, I remember after work mama would call in all of us
And you could hear us singin' for a country mile
Though little brother has done gone on we'll rejoin him in a song
We'll be together again up yonder in a little while.

And daddy sings bass, mama sings 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
We'll rejoin them in a song
We'll join the family circle at the throne.

No the circle won't be broken
By and by Lord, by and by
When daddy sings bass, mama sings tenor
Me and little brother would join right in there
In the sky Lord, in the sky.

In the sky Lord, in the sky...
