I remember when I was a lad Times were bad But there's a silver linin' behind every cloud Just poor people that all we were Tryin' to make a earth But we'd get together in a family loud. ... {P} CHORUS N.C. Daddy sang bass, mama sang tenor Me and little in there Singin' seems to help a troubled soul One of these days and it won't be long I'll re-{ song I'm gonna join the family throne. ... No, the circle won't be broken Bye and bye ... {P} N.C. Daddy'll sing bass, mama'll sing tenor Me and little in there In the sky, Lord, sky. 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.
