[Verse 1]
E E
I remember when I was a lad,
A7 E
times were hard and things were bad.
B7
But there's a silver lining behind every cloud.
E
Just poor people, that's all we were.
A7
Trying to make a living out of black land dirt.
E B7 E
But we'd get together in a family circle singing loud.
Daddy sang bass,
[Chorus]
E
Mama sang tenor.
A7 E
Me and little brother would join right in there.
B7
Singing seems to help a troubled soul.
E
One of these days and it won't be long.
A7
I'll rejoin them in a song.
E B7 E
I'm gonna join the family circle at the Throne.
[Post-Chorus]

No, the circle won't be broken.

By and by, Lord, by and by.
Daddy sang bass,
[Chorus]
E

In the sky, Lord, in the sky.

Now I remember after work,
[Verse 2]

Mama would call in all of us.
E B7
You could hear us singing 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.
