Song Lyrics


Daddy Sang Bass
by The Oak Ridge Boys

Album: Oak Ridge Boys Collection


I remember when I was a lad
Times were hard and things were bad
But there's a silver linin' behind every cloud
Just poor people that's all we were
Tryin' to make a livin' out of blackland dirt
But we'd get together in a family circle singin' loud ...

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
We'll be together around God's throne
And we'll join in a family circle in a little while

Oh, 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.

Now I remember, after work,
Mama would call in all of us
You could hear us singin' for a country mile
Now little brother he's done gone on
But we'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
Singin' seems to help a troubled soul

One of these days and it won't be long
We'll be together around God's throne
And we'll join in a family circle in a little while

No, the circle won't be broken
Bye and bye, Lord, bye and bye ...
Daddy sang bass, Mama sang tenor
Me and little brother would join right in there
In the sky, Lord, in the sky.

Oh, No, the circle won't be broken
Bye and bye, Lord, bye and bye ...
Daddy sang bass, Mama sang tenor
Me and little brother would join right in there
In the sky, Lord, in the sky.
