DADDY SANG BASS
By Carl Perkins
A Mickey McBride Arrangement
Verse 1
I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS A LAD,
TIMES WERE HARD AND THINGS WERE BAD,
BUT THERE’S A SILVER LINING BEHIND EV’RY CLOUD,
JUST POOR PEOPLE, THAT’S ALL WE WERE,
TRY’N’ TO MAKE A LIVIN’ OUT OF BLACK LAND DIRT,
WE’D GET TOGETHER IN A FAM’LY 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 FAM’LY 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,
Verse 2
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 (Repeat Chorus)
Drop me an "E" any time.
