Will the Circle Be Unbroken Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I was standing by my window
On one cold and cloudy day
When I saw that hearse come rolling
For to carry my mother away
[Chorus]
Will the circle be unbroken
Bye and bye Lord, bye and bye
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky Lord, in the sky
[Verse 2]
I told the undertaker
"Undertaker, please drive slow
For this body you are hauling
How I hate to see her go"
[Chorus]
Will the circle be unbroken
Bye and bye Lord, bye and bye
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky Lord, in the sky
[Verse 3]
I followed close behind her
Tried to hold up and be brave
But I could not hide my sorrow
When they laid her in the grave
I was standing by my window
On one cold and cloudy day
When I saw that hearse come rolling
For to carry my mother away
[Chorus]
Will the circle be unbroken
Bye and bye Lord, bye and bye
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky Lord, in the sky
[Verse 2]
I told the undertaker
"Undertaker, please drive slow
For this body you are hauling
How I hate to see her go"
[Chorus]
Will the circle be unbroken
Bye and bye Lord, bye and bye
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky Lord, in the sky
[Verse 3]
I followed close behind her
Tried to hold up and be brave
But I could not hide my sorrow
When they laid her in the grave
[Chorus]
Will the circle be unbroken
Bye and bye Lord, bye and bye
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky Lord, in the sky
Will the circle be unbroken
Bye and bye Lord, bye and bye
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky Lord, in the sky
