Can The Circle Be Unbroken

Lyrics

I was standing by my window
 On one cold and cloudy day
 And I saw the hearse come rolling
 For to carry my mother away
 Can the circle be unbroken
 Bye and bye, Lord, bye and bye
 There's a better home a-waiting
 In the sky, Lord, in the sky
 ♪
 Oh, I told the undertaker
 Undertaker, please drive slow
 For this body you are hauling
 How I hate to see her go
 Can the circle be unbroken
 Bye and bye, Lord, bye and bye
 There's a better home a-waiting
 In the sky, Lord, in the sky
 Lord, I followed close beside 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
 Bye and bye, Lord, bye and bye
 There's a better home a-waiting
 In the sky, Lord, in the sky
 ♪
 Went back home Lord, My home was lonely
 Since my mother she had gone
 All my brothers, sisters crying
 What a home so sad and lone
 Can the circle be unbroken
 Bye and bye, Lord, bye and bye
 There's a better home a-waiting
 In the sky, Lord, in the sky
