Will the Circle Be Unbroken Lyrics

I was standing by my window On a cold and cloudy day And I saw the hearse come rolling For to carry my mother away CHORUS: Will the circle be unbroken By and by, Lord, bye and bye There's a better home a-waiting In the sky, Lord, in the sky Oh I told the undertaker "Undertaker, please drive slow Cause this lady that you're hauling Lord, I hate to see her go." [chorus] I followed close behind her Tried to hold up and be brave But I could not hold my sorrow When they laid her in the grave [chorus] Went back home, Lord. My home was lonesome Since my mother, she was gone, All my brothers, sisters crying. What a home so sad and lone! [chorus] Now my mother, she's crossed over Where so many have gone before; And I know, Lord, I will meet her Just waiting at glory's door.
