Lyrics Daddy Sang Bass - Johnny Cash , The Statler Brothers , June Carter Cash , The Carter Sisters , Mother Maybelle Carter

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 dirt
We'd get together in a family circle singin' loud
Daddy sang bass
Mama sang tenor
Me and little brother would join right in there
Cause singin' seems to help a troubled soul
One of these days it won't be long
I'll rejoin them in a song
I'm gonna join the family circle at the Throne
Oh 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
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
Me and little brother would join right in there
Cause singin' seems to help a troubled soul
One of these days it won't be long
I'll rejoin them in a song
I'm gonna join the family circle at the Throne
Oh, 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
Yes in the sky, Lord, in the sky
