Daddy Sang Bass (Live) - Johnny Cash

(And and Carl Perkins wrote us another song That tells about the reason for though It takes us back home and again tells it like it was When I was a little bit of kid And we gathered around the piano And me and my little brother would join in and Mama would sing tenor and Daddy sing bass) I remember when I was a lad Times were hard and things were bad But there's a silver lining behind every cloud Just poor people, that's all we were Trying to make a living out of black land dirt We'd get together in a family circle singing loud Daddy sang bass (Mama sang tenor) (Me and little brother would join right in there) Our singing seems to help a troubled soul 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 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 after work Mama would call in all of us You could hear us singing for a country mile Now little brother has done gone on But, I'll rejoin him in a 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) Our singing seems to help a troubled soul 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 Oh 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

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 ... The Chorus: 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'm gonna join the family circle at the throne ... No, the circle won't be broken Bye and bye, Lord, bye and bye ... Daddy'll sing bass, Mama'll sing tenor Me and little brother will join right in there In the sky, Lord, in the sky. Verse Number Two: Now 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 in a song We'll be together again up yonder in a little while. The Chorus: 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'm gonna join the family circle at the throne ...
