I was standing by the window On one cold and cloudy day When I saw the hearse come rolling For to carry my mother away Will the circle be unbroken Bye and bye Lord, bye and bye There's a better home awaiting In the sky Lord, in the sky I said to the undertaker Undertaker please drive slow For this lady you are carrying Lord I hate to see her go Will the circle be unbroken Bye and bye Lord, bye and bye There's a better home awaiting 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 Bye and bye Lord, bye and bye There's a better home awaiting In the sky Lord, in the sky I went back home, the home was lonesome Since my mother, she was gone All my brothers and sisters crying What a home so sad and alone Will the circle be unbroken Bye and bye Lord, bye and bye There's a better home awaiting In the sky Lord, in the sky We sang songs of childhood Hymns of faith that made us strong Ones that mother maybelle taught us Hear the angels sing along Will the circle be unbroken Bye and bye Lord, bye and bye There's a better home awaiting In the sky Lord, in the sky ________________ "Can the Circle Be Unbroken (By and By)" is the title of a country/folk song reworked by A.

"Will The Circle Be Unbroken"
