I remember when I was a lad
Times were hard and things were bad
But there's a silver linin' behind every cloud
Just poor people that's all we were
Tryin' to make a livin' out of black land earth
But we'd get together in a family circle singin' loud
Daddy sang bass, Mama sang tenor
Me and little brother would join right in there
Singin' 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'll sing bass, Mama'll sing tenor
Me and little brother will join right in there
In the sky, Lord, in the 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
Daddy sang bass, Mama sang tenor
Me and little brother would join right in there
Singin' 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'll sing bass, Mama'll sing tenor
Me and little brother will join right in there
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
我記得小時候
日子過得艱難，事情很糟糕
但每片烏雲背後都有一線希望
我們隻是窮人
試圖在黑土地上謀生
但我們會聚在一起，在一個家庭圈子裏大聲唱歌
爸爸唱低音，媽媽唱男高音
我和弟弟會加入其中
唱歌似乎能幫助一個煩惱的靈魂
總有一天，不會太久
我會和他們一起唱歌
我要加入家庭圈子
不，圈子不會被打破
不久之後，上帝，不久之後
爸爸會唱低音，媽媽會唱男高音
我和弟弟會加入其中
在天空中，上帝，在天空中
現在我記得下班後
媽媽會叫我們所有人
你能聽到我們在鄉間一英裏外唱歌
現在弟弟已經走了
但是我會和他一起唱歌
我們一會兒又會在那邊相聚
爸爸唱低音，媽媽唱男高音
我和弟弟會一起唱歌
唱歌似乎能幫助一個煩惱的靈魂
總有一天，不會太久
我會和他們一起唱歌
我要加入王座上的家庭圈子
不，圈子不會被打破
不久之後，上帝，不久之後
爸爸會唱低音，媽媽會唱男高音
我和弟弟會一起唱歌
在天空中，上帝，在天空中
在天空中，上帝，在天空中
