Will The Circle Be Unbroken - The Carter Family

I was standing by the window

On a cold and cloudy day

And I saw the hearse come rolling

For to carry my mother away

Can the circle be unbroken

By and by Lord by and by

There's a better home awaiting

In the sky Lord in the sky

Lord I told the undertaker undertaker

Please drive slow

For this body you are holding Lord

I hate to see her go

Can the circle be unbroken

By and by Lord by and by

There's a better home awaiting

In the sky Lord in the sky

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

Can the circle be unbroken

By and by Lord by and by

There's a better home awaiting

In the sky Lord in the sky

Went that home Lord my home was lonesome

Yes my mother she was gone

All my brothers sisters cryin'

What a home to sit alone

Can the circle be unbroken

By and by Lord by and by

There's a better home awaiting

In the sky Lord in the sky
