Текст песни Daddy Sang Bass (Live) - Johnny Cash

(And and Carl Perkins wrote us another song
That tells about the reason for though
It takes us back home and again tells it like it was
When I was a little bit of kid
And we gathered around the piano
And me and my little brother would join in and Mama would sing tenor and
Daddy sing 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
Trying to make a living out of black land dirt
We'd get together in a family circle singing loud

Daddy sang bass
(Mama sang tenor)
(Me and little brother would join right in there)
Our singing 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
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 singing 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)
Our singing 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
Oh 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
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
