Jason Mraz Daddy Sang Bass Lyrics

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 living cutting grass and earth
And be together in a family circle singing loud

Daddy sang bass, mama sang tenor
Me and little brother would join right in there
Singing seems to help a troubled soul
One of these days and it won't be long
We'll be together around God's throne
We'll be together in a family circle singing proud
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

I remember now after work, Nanny would call in all of us
Well you could hear us singing for a country mile
It's true Frank G. he's done gone on But I'll rejoin him in his 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
Singing seems to help a troubled soul
One of these days and it won't be long
We'll be together around God's throne
We'll be together again up yonder 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
Singing seems to help a troubled soul
One of these days and it won't be long
We'll be together around God's throne
We'll be together in a family circle singing proud

Daddy sang bass, mama sang tenor
And me and little brother would join right in there
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
