Will the Circle Be Unbroken

Will the Circle Be Unbroken - The Staple Singers

I was standing by my window

On a cold and cloudy day

When I saw the hearse come rollin'

For to take my mother away

Will the circle be unbroken

By and by lord by and by

There's a better home a-waitin'

In the sky lord in the sky

I told the undertaker

Undertaker please drive slow

For this lady that you're haulin' lord

I hate to see her go

Will the circle be unbroken

By and by lord by and by

There's a better home a-waitin'

In the sky lord in the sky

Well I followed close behind

Tried to hold the family grace

But I could not hide my sorrow

When they laid herein the grave

Will the circle be unbroken

By and by lord by and by

There's a better home a-waitin'

In the sky lord in the sky
