Will The Circle Be Unbroken
How we're standing by my window
On a cold and cloudy day
When I saw that hearse come rolling
There to carry my mama away
I have told the undertaker
Undertaker please drive slow
For this body you are haulin'
Lord, I hate to see her go
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
Well I followed close behind her
Tried to hold up and be brave
But I could not hide my sorrow
When they laid her in her grave
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
I went back home Lord
My home was lonesome
With my mother she was gone
All my brothers and sisters crying
In a home so sad and lone
There we sang a song of childhood
Hymns of faith that made us oh so strong
One that mother taught us
Hear the angels sing along
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
One by one their seats were empty
One by one they went away
Now my family they are parted
Will we meet again someday?
Will the circle be unbroken
Bye and bye, Lord, bye and bye
There's a better home awaiting
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
On a cold and cloudy day
When I saw that hearse come rolling
There to carry my mama away
I have told the undertaker
Undertaker please drive slow
For this body you are haulin'
Lord, I hate to see her go
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
Well I followed close behind her
Tried to hold up and be brave
But I could not hide my sorrow
When they laid her in her grave
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
I went back home Lord
My home was lonesome
With my mother she was gone
All my brothers and sisters crying
In a home so sad and lone
There we sang a song of childhood
Hymns of faith that made us oh so strong
One that mother taught us
Hear the angels sing along
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
One by one their seats were empty
One by one they went away
Now my family they are parted
Will we meet again someday?
Will the circle be unbroken
Bye and bye, Lord, bye and bye
There's a better home awaiting
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
