May 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

May the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

Lord, I told to the undertaker
Undertaker please drive slow
For this body you are holding
Lord, I hate to see her go

May the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better land a-waiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

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

May the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better land a-waiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
