Well I remember when I was a lad times were hard and things were bad,
But there's a silver lining behind every cloud.
Well just a simple people, that's all we were
Tryin' to make a livin' out a black land dirt
We'd get together in a family circle singin' loud!
And Daddy sang bass,
Mamma sang tenor,
Me and little brother would join right in there
Singin' seems to soothe a troubled soul
One day soon, and it won't be long,
I'll rejoin them with a song.
Well I'm gonna join the family circle at the throne!
No the circle won't be broke
By and by Lord, by and by
And Daddy sang bass,
Mamma sang tenor,
Me and little brother would join right in there
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
And we were singin' (Singin')
Singin' (Singin')
Singin' in harmony (And we were singin')
Singin' (Singin')
Singin' (Singin' in harmony!)
Well I remember after work,
Mamma would call in all of us
Well you could hear us singin' for a country mile!
Now little brother's done gone on,
But I'll rejoin him with a song
We'll be singin' again up yonder in a little while!
And Daddy sang bass,
Mamma sang tenor,
Me and little brother would join right in there
Singin' seems to soothe a troubled soul
One day soon, and it won't be long,
I'll rejoin them with a song.
Well I'm gonna join the family circle at the throne
Oh the circle won't be broken,
By and by Lord, by and by.
And Daddy sang bass,
Mamma sang tenor,
Me and little brother would join right in there
In the sky, Lord, in the sky!
In the sky, Lord, in the sky!
In the sky, Lord, in the sky!
