Will the Circle Be Unbroken

Will the Circle Be Unbroken - The Carter Family

I was standing by my window

On one cold and cloudy day

And I saw the hearse come rolling

For to carry my mother away

Can the circle be unbroken

Bye and bye Lord bye and bye

There's a better home a-waiting

In the sky Lord in the sky

Oh I told the undertaker

Undertaker please drive slow

For this body you are hauling

How I hate to see her go

Can the circle be unbroken

Bye and bye Lord bye and bye

There's a better home a-waiting

In the sky Lord in the sky

I followed close beside her

Tried to hold up and be brave

But I could not hide my sorrow

When they laid her in the grave

Can the circle be unbroken

Bye and bye Lord bye and bye

There's a better home a-waiting

In the sky Lord in the sky
