Daddy Sang Bass - JD Sumner & The Stamps

Written by：Perkins Carl

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 sing bass

Mama sing tenor

Me and little brother would join right in there

Singing seems to help a troubled soul

One of these days and it won't be long

I'll rejoin them in a happy 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 you sing bass

Mama sing 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

But you could hear us singing for a country mile

Now little brother has done gone on

But I'll rejoin him in a happy song

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

Daddy you sing bass

Mama sing tenor

Me and little brother would join right in there

Singing seems to help a troubled soul

One of these days and it won't be long

I'll rejoin them in a happy 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 you sing bass

Mama sing tenor

Me and little brother would join right in there

In the sky lord in the sky

In the sky lord in the sky
