May The Circle Be Unbroken
Ada R. Habershon, Charles H. Gabriel
I was standing
At my window
On a cold and cloudy day
When I saw the
Hearse come rollin
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 haulin
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
