I was standing by my window on a cold and cloudy day
|
When I saw the hearse come rolling to carry mother away
|
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
|
[ ac.guitar ]
|
I said to the undertaker undertaker please drive slow
|
For this lady you are hauling oh I hate to see her go
|
[ harmonica ]
|
I will follow close behind her try to hold up and be brave
|
But I could not hide my sorrow when they laid her in her grave
|
[ fiddle ]
|
Went back home and home was lonesome since my mather she had gone
|
Found my brothers sisters crying what a home so sad and lone
|
Will the circle be unbroken...

Will The Circle Be Unbroken
