Daddy Sang Bass Lyrics by Johnny Cash

0:02I remember when I was a lad

0:08Times were hard and things were bad

0:10But there's a silver linin' behind every cloud

0:14Just poor people, that's all we were

0:17Trying to make a livin' out of black land dirt

0:20But we'd get together in a family circle singin' loud

0:24Daddy sang bass

0:26Mama sang tenor

0:28Me and little brother would join right in there

0:30Singin' seems to help a troubled soul

0:35One of these days and it won't be long

0:38I'll rejoin them in a song

0:40I'm gonna join the family circle at the Throne

0:45No, the circle won't be broken

0:50By and by, Lord, by and by

0:53Daddy sang bass

0:56Mama sang tenor

0:57Me and little brother would join right in there

1:00In the sky, Lord, in the sky

1:05Now I remember after work

1:12Mama would call in all of us

1:15You could hear us singin' for a country mile

1:20Now little brother has done gone on

1:22But, I'll rejoin him in a song

1:24We'll be together again up yonder in a little while

1:29Daddy sang bass

1:31Mama sang tenor

1:32Me and little brother would join right in there

1:35'Cause singin' seems to help a troubled soul

1:40One of these days and it won't be long

1:42I'll rejoin them in a song

1:44I'm gonna join the family circle at the Throne

1:49Oh, no the circle won't be broken

1:54By and by, Lord, by and by

1:59Daddy sang bass

2:01Mama sang tenor

2:02Me and little brother would join right in there

2:05In the sky, Lord, in the sky

2:08In the sky, Lord, in the sky

2:19♪
