daddy sang bass

Jason Mraz

I remember when I was a lad
Times were hard and things were bad
But there s a silver linin behind every cloud
Just poor people, that s all we were
Tryin to make a living cutting grass and earth
And be together in a family circle singing loud

Daddy sang bass, mama sang 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
We ll be together around God s throne
We ll be together in a family circle singing proud
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

I remember now after work
Nanny would call in all of us
Well you could hear us singing for a country mile
It s true Frank G. he s done gone on
But I ll rejoin him in his song
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
Singing seems to help a troubled soul
One of these days and it won t be long
We ll be together around God s throne
We ll be together again up yonder in a little while

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
Singing seems to help a troubled soul
One of these days and it won t be long
We ll be together around God s throne
We ll be together in a family circle singing proud

Daddy sang bass, mama sang tenor
And me and little brother would join right in there
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
