DADDY SANG BASS Verse Number One: I remember when I was a lad Times were hard and things were bad But there's a silver linin' inside every cloud Just poor people that's all we were Tryin' to make a livin' out of blackland earth But we'd get together in a family circle singin' loud ...

Well, I started out travellin' for the Lord many years ago I've had a lot of heartache and I met a lot of grief and woe But when I would stumble then I would humble down And there I'd say, I wouldn't take nothin' for my journey now I wouldn't take nothin' for my journey now Gotta make it to Heaven somehow Though the devil tempt me and he tried to turn me around He's offered everything that's got a name All the wealth I want and worldly fame If I could still I wouldn't take nothin' for my journey now Oh, there's nothin' in this world that'll ever take the place of God's love All the silver and gold wouldn't buy a touch from above When the soul needs healin' and I begin to feelin' His power Then I can say, thank the Lord, I wouldn't take nothing for my journey now Oh, I wouldn't take nothin' for my journey now Gotta make it to Heaven somehow Though the devil tempts me and he tried to turn me around He's offered everything that's got a name All the wealth I want and worldly fame If I could still I wouldn't take nothin' for my journey now Oh, I wouldn't take nothin' for my journey now I've gotta make it to Heaven somehow Though the devil tempt me and he tried to turn me around You know he's offered everything that's got a name All the wealth I want and worldly fame If I could still I wouldn't take nothin' for my journey now If I could still I wouldn't take nothin' for my journey now You know he's offered everything that's got a name All the wealth I want and worldly fame If I could still I wouldn't take nothin' for my journey now If I could still I wouldn't take nothin' for my journey now
