but there's a silver linin' behind every cloud.

Just poor people, that's all we were,
G D
tryin' to make a livin' out of blackland earth,

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.

One of these days and it won't be long, I'll rejoin them in a song
