Daddy Sang Bass

Daddy Sang Bass - Carl Perkins

Will I remember when I was a lad

Times were hard and things were bad

But there's a silver linin' behind every 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 was saying gonna around 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

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 for too long

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

You know 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 was saying gonna join around 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
