Will The Circle Be Unbroken
Carter Family

G
I was standing by my window
     C               G
On a cold and cloudy day
G
When I saw that hearse come rolling
                D      G  
For to carry my mother away

CHORUS:
G
Will the circle be unbroken?
       C	        G
By and by, Lord, by and by
G
Theres a better home a-waiting
       D		 G
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

Lord, I told that undertaker
Undertaker, please drive by slow
For this body that you are hauling
Lord, I hate to see her go

REPEAT CHORUS

I followed close behind her
Tried to hold up and be brave
But I could not hide my sorrow
When they laid her in the grave

I went home, my home was lonely
Now my mother she was gone
All my brothers, sisters crying
What a home so sad and alone

REPEAT CHORUS
