Rose Maddox Will The Circle Be Unbroken lyrics

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

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 by

And by Lord, by and by
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky Lord, in the sky

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 by
And by Lord, by and by
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky Lord, in the sky
