Circle
I was standing by my window
On a cold and cloudy day
When I saw that hearse come rollin'
Come to carry my mama away
Lord I told that undertaker
Undertaker please drive slow
For that body you are haulin'
Lord I hate to see her go
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
Well 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
I went home, home
My home was lonely
Now my mother she was gone
All my brothers, sisters cryin'
What I hope, so sad and alone
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
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
