Will the circle be unbroken
artist: united live
I was standing by my window,
On a cold and cloudy day.
When I saw that hearse come rolling,
For to carry my mother away.
<chorus>
:
Will 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 that undertaker,
"Undertaker, please drive slow.
For the body you are hauling,
Lord, I hate to see her go."
<chorus>
Lord, 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>
Went back home, Lord, my home was lonesome,
Since my mother, she was gone.
All my brothers, sister cryin',
What a home so sad and lone.
