Daddy Sang Bass

 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,

We'd get together in a family circle sing'in loud.

daddy sang bass, mama sang tenor,

me and little brother would join right in there

Sing'in 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
