Woke up, fell out of bed, Dragged a comb across my head Found my way downstairs and drank a cup, And looking up I noticed I was late. Found my coat and grabbed my hat Made the bus in seconds flat Found my way upstairs and had a smoke, Somebody spoke and I went into a dream. ---

Daddy Frank played the guitar and the french harp, Sister played the ringing tambourine. Mama couldn’t hear our pretty music, She read our lips and helped the family sing.

Daddy sang bass, Mama sang tenor. Me and little brother would join right in there. 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. ---
