G G7
I remember when I was a lad
C G
Times were hard and things were bad
D7
But there’s a silver linin’ behind every cloud
G G7
Just poor people that’s all we were
C G
Tryin’ to make a livin’ out of blackland dirt
D7 G
But we’d get together in a family circle singing loud
G7
Daddy sang bass Mama sang tenor
C G
Me and little brother would join right in there
D7
Singin’ seems to help a troubled soul
G G7
One of these days and it won’t be long
C G
I’ll rejoin them in a song
D7 G
I’m gonna join the family circle at the throne
G7
No the circle won’t be broken
C G
Bye and bye Lord bye and bye
G7
Daddy’ll sing bass Mama’ll sing tenor
C G
Me and little brother will join right in there
C D7 G
In the sky Lord in the sky
G7
Now I remember after work
C G
Mama would call in all of us
D7
You could hear us singin’ for a country mile
G G7
Now little brother has done gone on
C G
But I’ll rejoin him in a song
D7 G
We’ll be together again up yonder in a little while
