Daddy Sang Bass
Johnny Cash
1
I remember when I was a lad
4 1
Times were hard and things were bad
5
But there's a silver linin' behind every cloud
1
Just poor people that all we were
4 1
Tryin' to make a livin' out of blackland earth
5 1
But we'd get together in a family circle singin' loud . . [P]
CHORUS
N.C. 17
Daddy sang bass, mama sang tenor
4 1
Me and little brother would join right in there
5
Singin' seems to help a troubled soul
1
One of these days and it won't be long
4 1
I'll re-join them in a song
5 1
I'm gonna join the family circle at the throne. ...
17
No, the circle won't be broken
4 1
Bye and bye, Lord, bye and bye ... [P]
N.4. 17
Daddy'll sing bass, mama'll sing tenor
4 1
Me and little brother will join right in there
5 1
In the sky, Lord, in the sky.
Verse 2
1 4 1
Now I remember after work mama would call in all of us
5
You could hear us singin' for a country mile
1 4 1
Now little brother has done gone on but I'll rejoin him in a song
5 1
We'll be together again up yonder in a little while. . [P]

In the sky, Lord, in the sky.
