lyrics

Will the Circle Be Unbroken
by A.P. Carter
adapted by Jen Hawley

Standing by my window
On a cold and cloudy day
I saw that hearse come rollin’
To carry my mom away

I said to the undertaker,
“Please drive slow”
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 awaitin’
In the sky Lord, in the sky

Follow close behind her
Tried to hold up and be brave
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 awaitin’
In the sky Lord, in the sky

Going home was lonesome
My mother she was gone
All my brothers, sisters crying
What a home so sad and lone

Will the circle be unbroken
Bye and bye, Lord, bye and bye
There’s a better home awaitin’
In the sky Lord, in the sky

Will the circle be unbroken
Bye and bye, Lord, bye and bye
There’s a better home awaitin’
In the sky Lord, in the sky
