| But there’s a silver lining behind every cloud
|
| Just poor people that’s all we were tryin' to make a livin' out of black land

|
| Me and little brother would join right in there singin' seems to help a

|
| 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

| Me and little brother would join right in there in the sky Lord in the sky
|
| Npw 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 while
|
| (Daddy sang bass…
|
| In the sky Lord in the sky |
