Will the Circle Be Unbroken
Alvin Pleasant Carter
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
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...
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...
