         D                                   G                    D
    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.
                             D
