Johnny Cash Daddy Sang Bass lyrics

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
