I was standing by my window on a cold and cloudy day When I saw the hearse come rolling for to carry my mother away Will the circle be unbroken by and by Lord by and by There's a better home awaiting in the sky Lord in the sky [ ac.guitar ] Lord I told the undertaker undertaker please drive slow For this body you are hauling Lord I hate to see her go Will the circle be unbroken... [ steel ] I will follow close behind her try to hold up and be brave But I could not hide my sorrow when they laid her in the grave Will the circle be unbroken...
