Will the Circle Be Unbroken lyrics
I was standing by my window
On a cold and cloudy day
When I saw that 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 a-waiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
Lord, I...Lord, I hate to see her go
* Refrain
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
* Refrain
I went home, my home was lonely
Now my mother she has gone
All my brothers, sisters crying
What a home so sad and alone
* Refrain
