| Well I remember when I was a lad times were hard and things were bad,
|
| But there’s a silver lining behind every cloud.
|
| Well just a simple people, that’s all we were
|
| Tryin' to make a livin' out a black land dirt
|
| We’d get together in a family circle singin' loud!
|
| And Daddy sang bass,
|
| Mamma sang tenor,
|
| Me and little brother would join right in there
|
| Singin' seems to soothe a troubled soul
|
| One day soon, and it won’t be long,
|
| I’ll rejoin them with a song.
|
| Well I’m gonna join the family circle at the throne!
|
| No the circle won’t be broke
|
| By and by Lord, by and by
|
| And Daddy sang bass,
|
| Mamma sang tenor,
|
| Me and little brother would join right in there
|
| In the sky, Lord, in the sky
|
| And we were singin' (Singin')
|
| Singin' (Singin')
|
| Singin' in harmony (And we were singin')
|
| Singin' (Singin')
|
| Singin' (Singin' in harmony!)
|
| Well I remember after work,
|
| Mamma would call in all of us
|
| Well you could hear us singin' for a country mile!
|
| Now little brother’s done gone on,
|
| But I’ll rejoin him with a song
|
| We’ll be singin' again up yonder in a little while!
|
| And Daddy sang bass,
|
| Mamma sang tenor,
|
| Me and little brother would join right in there
|
| Singin' seems to soothe a troubled soul
|
| One day soon, and it won’t be long,
|
| I’ll rejoin them with a song.
|
| Well I’m gonna join the family circle at the throne
|
| Oh the circle won’t be broken,
|
| By and by Lord, by and by.
|
| And Daddy sang bass,
|
| Mamma sang tenor,
|
| Me and little brother would join right in there
|
| In the sky, Lord, in the sky! |
