Daddy Sang Bass — текст песни (Johnny Cash)

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 earth
But we`d get together in a family circle singin` loud ...

CHORUS
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
I`ll rejoin them in a song
I`m gonna join the family circle at the throne ...

No, the circle won`t be broken
Bye and bye, Lord, bye and bye ...
Daddy`ll sing bass, Mama`ll sing tenor
Me and little brother will 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 has done gone on
But I`ll rejoin him in a song
We`ll be together again up yonder in a little while.

CHORUS
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
I`ll rejoin them in a song
I`m gonna join the family circle at the throne ...

No, the circle won`t be broken
Bye and bye, Lord, bye and bye ...
Daddy`ll sing bass, Mama`ll sing tenor
Me and little brother will join right in there
In the sky, Lord, in the sky.
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
