Will The Circle Be Unbroken

I was standing by my window

On a cold and cloudy day

When I saw that hearse wheel rolling

It was taking my sister away

Said, undertaker, undertaker

Won't you please drive real slow?

That's my little baby sister

Not a soul came 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

I was standing by my window

On a cold and cloudy day

When I saw that hearse wheel rolling

It was taking my mother away

Undertaker, undertaker

Won't you please drive real slow?

That's my mother, my dear old mother

I sure hate to see her go

Circle be unbroken

By and by, lord, by and by

There's a better home awaiting

In the sky lord, in the sky

Years have passed now

By the same old window

On the cold and cloudy day

When I see the hearse wheels rolling

They was taking Chief Jolly away

Undertaker, undertaker

Won't you please drive real slow?

That's Chief Jolly that you're carryin'

I sure hate to see him go
