As when I was a little girl Times were hard in this whole world But theres a silver lining behind every cloud Just poor people Thats all we were Tryin to make a living out of black land dirt Wed get together in a family circle and sing out loud Daddy sang bass Mama sang tenor Me and little brother would join right in there Singin seems to help us troubled soul One of these days And it wont be long Ill rejoin them in a song Im gonna join the family circle at the throne No, the circle wont be broken by And by Lord By and by Daddy sang bass Mama sang tenor Me and little brother would join right in there In the sky Lord, in the sky You might also likeNow I remember after work Mama would call in all of us You could hear us singing for a country mile Now little brother has done gone on But Ill rejoin him in a song Well be together again up yonder in a while Daddy sang bass In the sky Lord, in the sky
