I was standing by my window
|
On a cold and cloudy day
|
When I saw that hearse come rolling
|
For to carry my mother away
|
|
(chorus)
|
Will the circle be unbroken
|
By and by, Lord, by and by
|
There's a better home awaiting
|
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
|
|
(break)
|
|
Well I told the undertaker
|
Undertaker please drive slow
|
For the body that you are hauling
|
Lord, I hate to see her go
|
|
chorus
|
|
(break)
|
|
Well I followed close behind her
|
Tried to hold up and be brave
|
But I could not hide my sorrow
|
When they laid her in her grave
|
|
chorus
|
|
(break)
|
|
Went back home, Lord, oh so lonesome
|
Since my mother she was gone
|
All my brothers, sisters crying
|
What a home so sad and 'lone
|
|
chorus
|
|

Will the Circle be Unbroken
