Lyrics
Will the Circle Be Unbroken
traditional
(Chorus) Will the circle be unbroken
As time passes by and by
There's a better home that's waiting
In the sky, up in the sky
I was standing by the window
One dark and cloudy day
When I saw that hearse come rolling
To carry my mother away
Well, I told the undertaker,
"Undertaker, please drive slow,
For this body that you're hauling
Oh, I hate to see her go"
Well, I followed close behind her,
Tried to hold up and be brave,
But I could not hide my sorrow
When they layed her in the grave
I went home, my home was lonely
Now my mother she has gone
All my brothers, sisters crying
What a home so sad and alone
