Cash Johnny – Daddy Sang Bass

 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
