Stanley Brothers - Will The Circle Be Unbroken lyrics

rate me

I was standing by the window

On a cold and cloudy day

When I saw the hearse come rolling

To carry my mother away

Will the circle be unbroken

Bye and bye Lord bye and bye

There's a better home a waiting

In the sky Lord in the sky

I said to the undertaker

Undertaker please drive slow

For this lady you are carrying

Lord I hate to see her go

Will the circle be unbroken

Bye and bye Lord bye and bye

There's a better home a waiting

In the sky Lord in the sky

Well I followed close behind her

Tried to hold up and be brave

But I could not hide my sorrow

When they laid her in that grave

Will the circle be unbroken

Bye and bye Lord bye and bye

There's a better home a waiting

In the sky Lord in the sky

I went back home that home was lonesome

Since my mother, she was gone

All my brothers and sisters crying

What a home so sad and alone
