Daddy Sang Bass

-1 2-2 -2 -2 -2 -2 -2 -3
I remember when I was a lad

-3 -3 3 -2 -2 -2 -1
times were hard and things were bad

-1 2 -1 -2-2** -2-2 -3 -3 3-2 3
But there’s a silver lining behind every cloud

-3 -3 -3 -2 -2 -2 -2 -2
Just poor people that’s all we were

-2 -2 -2 -2 -2-2 -2 -2 -2 -2 -2
try’n to make a livin out of black land dirt

-1 2 2-2-2 -2 -2 -2 -2 -3 -2 -3 -3 -2
We’d get together in a fam’ly circle singin loud

Chorus

-3 -3 3 -3 3 -2 -2 -2 -2 2 -1
me and lit-tle bro-ther would join right in there

-2 -2 -2 -2 -3 -3 3 -2 3
Singin’ seems to help a troubled soul

-4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -3
One of these days and it won’t be long

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
