Will The Circle Be Unbroken

(A. P. Carter)

George Jnes & Staples

I was standin' by my window

On one cold and cloudy day

When I saw that hearse come rollin'

Oh, to carry my mother away.

Will that circle be unbroken

By and by, Lord, by and by

There's a better home a-waitin'

In the sky, Lord, in the sky.

--- Instrumental ---

I went back home, my home was lonely

For my mother she was gone

All my brothers set to cryin'

For the home so sad and alone.

Undertaker, please undertaker,

Undertaker, please drive slow

For that body you are hauling

Lord, I hates to see her go

Will that circle be unbroken

By and by, Lord, by and by

There's a better home a-waitin'

In the sky, Lord, in the sky...
