Daddy Sang Bass Lyrics - Skeeter Davis

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
