Will the Circle Be Unbroken

[Verse 1]
I was standing by my window
On one cold and cloudy day
Was I saw that herst come rolling
For to take my mother away
Undertaker,undertaker
Undertaker please drive slow
Because the body that you are carrying
Lord I hate to see her go

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
I went back home, my home was lonesome
Missed my mother, she was gone
All of my brothers, sisters crying
What a home so sad and lone

[Chorus]

[Verse 4]
We sang the songs of childhood
Hymns of faith that made us strong
Ones that Mother Maybelle taught us
Hear the angels sing along

[Chorus][x2]
