[00:05.150]I remember when I was a lad
[00:07.400]Times were hard and things were bad
[00:10.330]But there's a silver lining behind every cloud
[00:15.10]Just four people that 's all we were
[00:17.324]Trying to make a living out of black-land dirt
[00:19.914]But we'd get together in a family circle singing loud
[00:24.914]Daddy sang bass (mama sang tenor)
[00:27.464]Me and little brother would join right in there
[00:30.516]Singing seems to help a troubled soul
[00:34.826]One of these days and it won't be long
[00:37.256]I'll rejoin them in a song
[00:39.816]I'm gonna join the family circle at the throne
[00:44.616]Though the circle won't be broken
[00:49.676]By and by,Lord,by and by
[00:54.606]Daddy sang bass (mama sang tenor)
[00:57.166]Me and little brother would join right in there
[00:59.716]In the sky,Lord,in the sky
[01:09.516]Now I remember after work mama would call in all of us
[01:14.696]You could hear us singing for a country mile
[01:19.376]Now little brother has done gone on
[01:21.876]But I'll rejoin him in a song
[01:24.385]We'll be together again up beyonder in a little while
[01:29.351]Daddy sang bass (mama sang tenor)
[01:31.917]Me and little brother would join right in there
[01:34.676]cause singing seems to help a troubled soul
[01:39.296]One of these days and it won't be long
[01:41.666]I'll rejoin them in a song
[01:44.209]I'm gonna join the family circle at the throne
[01:48.889]Oh no the circle won't be broken
[01:54.189]By and by,Lord,by and by
[01:59.119]Daddy sang bass (mama sang tenor)
[02:01.809]Me and little brother would join right in there
[02:04.239]In the sky,Lord,in the sky
[02:09.169]In the sky,Lord,in the sky
