DADDY SANG BASS
WRITER CARL PERKINS
I remember when I was a lad Times were hard and things
were bad But there's a silver linin' behind ev'ry cloud
Just four people that 's all we were Tryin' to make
a livin' out of black-land dirt But 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 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 Though 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 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 and 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 In the sky, Lord, in the sky
