I remember when I was a lad, times were hard and things were bad,
                                         A
But there's a silver linin' behind every cloud.
          D
Just poor people, that's all we were,
                 G                        D
Tryin' to make a livin' out of  blackland earth,
                                  A              D
But we'd get together in a family circle singin' loud. 

D
Daddy sang bass, mama sang tenor,
              G                        D
Me and little brother would join right in there,
                                        A
'cause singin' seems to help a troubled soul.
             D                                 G              D
One of these days and it won't be long, I'll rejoin them in a song
                          A             D
I'm gonna join the family circle at the throne.
                        D7              G                  D
No, the circle won't be broken, bye and bye, Lord, bye and bye.
                                 D
Daddy'll sing bass, Mama'll sing tenor,
              G                       D                           A      D
Me and little brother will join right in there, in the sky, Lord, in the sky.

           D                          G              D
Now, I remember after work mama would call in all of us,
                                        A
You could hear us singin' for a country mile.
            D                                    G             D
Now, little brother has done gone on, but I'll rejoin him in a song,
                           A                  D
We?ll be together again up yonder in a little while.
