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...
