Can The Circle Be Unbroken

I was standing by my window

On one cold and cloudy day

When I saw the hearse come rolling

For to carry my mother away.

Can 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 told the undertaker

Undertaker, please drive slow

For this body you are hauling

Lord, I hate to see her go.

Can the circle be unbroken

By and by Lord, by and by

There's a better home awaiting

In the sky Lord, in the sky.

Oh, I followed close behind her

Tried to hold up and be brave

But I could not hide my sorrow

When they laid her in her grave.

Can the circle be unbroken

By and by Lord, by and by

There's a better home awaiting

In the sky Lord, in the sky...
