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 tryin' to make a livin' out of black land dirt
We'd get together in a family circle and sing out loud
(Daddy sang bass mama sang tenor)
Me and little brother would join right in there
Singin' seems to help a troubled soul
Now one of these days and it won't be long I'll rejoin them in a song
I'm gonna join that 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
[Instrumental]
I remember after work mama would call in all of us
And 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 while
(Daddy sang bass...)
