I re-member when I was a lad
Bb F
Times were hard and things were bad
F C7
But there's a silver linin' behind every cloud
F F7
Just poor people that's all we were
Bb F
Tryin' to make a livin' out of blackland dirt
F C7 F
We'd get together in a family circle singin' loud
NC F
Daddy sang bass, Mama sang tenor
Bb F
Me and little brother would join right in there
C7
'Cause singin' seems to help a troubled soul
F F7
One of these days and it won't be long
Bb F
I'll re-join them in a song
C7 F
I'm gonna join the family circle at the throne
F F7 Bb F
Oh no the circle won't be broken, by and by Lord by and by
NC F
Daddy'll sing bass, Mama'll sing tenor
Bb F
Me and little brother would join right in there
F C7 F
In the sky Lord in the sky
F F7
Now I re-member after work
Bb F
Mama would call in all of us
F C7
You could hear us singin' for a country mile
F F7
Now little brother has done gone on
Bb F
But I'll re-join him in a song
F C7 F
We'll be to-gether again up yonder in a little while
NC F
Daddy sang bass, Mama sang tenor
Bb F
Me and little brother would join right in there
C7
'Cause singin' seems to help a troubled soul
F F7
One of these days and it won't be long
Bb F
I'll re-join them in a song
C7 F
I'm gonna join the family circle at the throne
F F7 Bb F
Oh no the circle won't be broken, by and by Lord by and by
NC F
Daddy'll sing bass, Mama'll sing tenor
Bb F
Me and little brother would join right in there
F C7 F
In the sky Lord in the sky
F C7 F
In the sky Lord in the sky
