Daddy Sang 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 blackland dirt

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

Daddy sang bass

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 won't be broken

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

I'll rejoin him in a song

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