Daddy Sang

 
    A 
I remember when I was a lad 
           D                    A 
Times were hard and things were bad 
              A                            E 
But there's a silver linin' behind every cloud 
          A 
Just poor people, that's all we were 
                 D                        A 
Tryin' to make a living cutting grass and earth 
         A                  E              A 
And be together in a family circle singing loud 
 

 
N.C.       A 
Daddy sang bass, mama sang tenor 
               D                       A 
Me and little brother would join right in there 
A                                E 
Singing seems to help a troubled soul 
              A 
One of these days and it won't be long 
           D                     A 
Well be together around Gods throne 
           A                  E               A 
Well be together in a family circle singing proud 
 

 
          A                A 
Oh no the circle won't be broken 
       D                A 
By and by, Lord, by and by

        A         E      A 
In the sky, Lord, in the sky 
 

 
    A                                  D              A 
I remember now after work, Nanny would call in all of us 
               A                             E 
Well you could hear us singing for a country mile 
                A 
It's true Frank G. he's done gone on 
           D               A 
But I'll rejoin him in his song 
           A               E                  A 
We'll be together again up yonder in a little while
