Will the Circle Be Unbroken

Will the Circle Be Unbroken - John Lee Hooker (約翰·李·胡克)

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 a-waiting

In the sky Lord in the sky

I said to that undertaker

Undertaker please drive slow

For this lady you are carrying

Lord I hate to see here go

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

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 the grave

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

I went back home my home was lonesome

Missed my mother she was gone

All of my brothers sisters crying
