May the Circle Be Unbroken

I was standing at my window

on a cold and cloudy day

when I saw the hearse come rolling

oh, to carry my mother away

May 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 please drive slow

Cause the lady,that you're hauling

Lord I hate to see her go

May 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 by and be brave

but I could not

hold my sorrow

when they laid her in the grave

May the circle be unbroken

by and by

Lord by and by

There's a better home awaiting

In the sky, Lord

in the sky
