Will the Circle Be Unbroken

I was standing by my window

On a cold and cloudy day

When I saw a hearse come rolling

To carry my 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

Undertaker, undertaker

Undertaker please drive slow

For that lady you are hauling

Lord, I hate to see her go

CHORUS

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

CHORUS

Went back home, my home was lonesome

And my mother she had gone

Aall my brothers, sisters crying

What a home so sad and alone

CHORUS (2x)
