Daddy Sang Bass
recorded by Johnny Cash
written by Carl Perkins
 
C                       C7
I remember when I was a lad
           F                    C
Times were hard and things were bad
                                         G7
But there's a silver linin' behind every cloud
          C                     C7
Just poor people that's all we were
                 F                       C
Tryin' to make a livin' out of blackland dirt
                                  G7             C
But we'd get together in a family circle singing loud  
 
                          C7
Daddy sang bass Mama sang tenor
              F                           C
Me and little brother would join right in there
                                 G7
Singin' seems to help a troubled soul
             C                    C7
One of these days and it won't be long
      F               C
I'll rejoin them in a song
                          G7            C
I'm gonna join the family circle at the throne
 
                       C7
No the circle won't be broken
        F                C
Bye and bye Lord bye and bye 
                                 C7
Daddy'll sing bass  Mama'll sing tenor
              F                       C
Me and little brother will join right in there
                F   G7   C
In the sky Lord in  the  sky
 
                     C7
Now I remember after work 
     F                    C
Mama would call in all of us
                                        G7
You could hear us singin' for a country mile
           C                     C7
Now little brother has done gone on 
         F               C
But I'll rejoin him in a song
                                  G7          C
We'll be together again up yonder in a little while
 
repeat # 2 & 3
