Daddy Sang Bass Lyrics - Singles - Nat Stuckey

I remember when I was a lad 

Times were hard and things were bad 

But there's a silver linin' behind every cloud 

Just poor people that's all we were 

Tryin' to make a livin' out of black land earth 

We'd get together in a family circle singin' loud 

Daddy sang bass, mama sang tenor 

And me and little brother would join right in there 

All singin' seems to help a 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 

Bye and bye Lord, bye and bye 

Daddy'll sing bass, mama'll sing tenor 

Me and little brother will join right in there 

In the sky Lord, in the sky 

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 little while 

Daddy sang bass, mama sang tenor 

And me and little brother would join right in there 

All singin' seems to help a 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 

Bye and bye, Lord, bye and bye 

Daddy'll sing bass, mama'll sing tenor 

And me and little brother would join right in there 

In the sky Lord, in the sky 

In the sky Lord, in the sky
