I re - ^E member when I was a ^E7 lad Times were ^A/E hard and things were ^E bad E B7/F# But there's a silver linin' behind every cloud Just poor ^E people that's all we ^E7 were Tryin' to make a ^A/E livin' out of blackland ^E dirt B7/F# E But we'd get together in a family circle singing loud /

Daddy sang bass Mama sang ^E7 tenor Me and little ^A/E brother would join right ^E in there E B7/F# Singin' seems to help a troubled soul One of these ^E days and it won't be ^E7 long I'll re - ^A join them in a ^E song E B7/F# E I'm gonna join the family circle at the throne No the ^E circle ^E won't be ^E7 broken ^E7 Bye and ^A/E bye Lord, bye and ^E bye/ Daddy'll sing bass Mama'll sing ^E7 tenor Me and little ^A/E brother will join right ^E in there In the ^E sky Lord ^B7 in the ^E sky E - B7/F# - E

Now I re - ^E member after ^E7 work Mama would ^A/E call in all of ^E us You could ^E hear us singin' for a country ^B7 mile Now little^E brother has done gone^E7 on But I'll re - ^A join him in a ^E song We'll be to - ^E gether again up ^B7 yonder in a little ^E while /
