Will The Circle Be Unbroken

Will The Circle Be Unbroken - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band/Mother Maybelle Carter

Written by：Jimmy Ibbotson/A.P. Carter

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

All I told 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 her 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 was

My home was lonesome

Missed my mother she was gone

All of my brothers sisters crying

What a home so sad and lone

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

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
