» Will The Circle Be Unbroken

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.

Will the circle be unbroken,
By and by, Lord, by and by?
There's a better home up awaiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

(autoharp break)

Oh, I followed close behind her
Tried to hold up and be brave
But I could not hide my sorrow
When they laid her in that grave.

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by?
There's a better home up awaiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky.

(mandolin break)

Undertaker! Undertaker!
Undertaker, please drive slow
For that lady that you are hauling
Lord, I hate to see her go.

Will the circle be unbroken,
By and by, Lord, by and by?
There's a better home up awaiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky.
