I remember when I was a lad
Times were hard and things were bad
There's a silver linin' behind every cloud
Just four people that 's all we were
Tryin' to make a livin' out of black-land dirt
We'd get together in a family circle singin' loud
Daddy sang bass, (mama sang tenor)
Me and little brother would join right in there
Singin' seems to help a troubled soul
One of these days, it won't be long
I'll rejoin them in a song
And we're gonna sing again up yonder around a throne
Though the circle won't 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
ย
I remember after work mama would call in all of us
And you could hear us singin' for a country mile
Now little brother has done gone on
I'll rejoin him for too long
We'll gonna sing again up yonder in a little while
Daddy sang bass, (mama sang tenor)
Me and little brother would join right in there
Singin' seems to help a troubled soul
One of these days and it won't be long
I'll rejoin them in a song
We're gonna sing again up yonder around a throne
No, the circle won't 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
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
