Daddy Sang Bass (with The Carter Family, The Statler Brothers & Carl Perkins) - Live at San Quentin State Prison, San Quentin, CA - February 1969

(And and Carl Perkins wrote us another song
 That tells about the reason for though
 It takes us back home and again tells it like it was
 When I was a little bit of kid
 And we gathered around the piano
 And me and my little brother would join in and Mama would sing tenor and
 Daddy sing bass)
 ♪
 I remember when I was a lad
 Times were hard and things were bad
 But there's a silver lining behind every cloud
 Just poor people, that's all we were
 Trying to make a living out of black land dirt
 We'd get together in a family circle singing loud
 Daddy sang bass
 (Mama sang tenor)
 (Me and little brother would join right in there)
 Our singing seems to help a troubled soul
 One of these days and it won't be long
 I'll rejoin them in a song
 I'm gonna join the family circle at the 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
 ♪
 I remember after work
 Mama would call in all of us
 You could hear us singing 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
 Daddy sang bass
 (Mama sang tenor)
 (Me and little brother would join right in there)
 Our singing seems to help a troubled soul
 One of these days and it won't be long
 I'll rejoin them in a song
 I'm gonna join the family circle at the Throne
 Oh 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
