Will the Circle Be Unbroken Songtext
von John Lee Hooker

I was standing at my window
On one cool and cloudy day
When I saw that hearse come rolling
Ooh, to carry my breath away

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by
As I′m greater love a-waiting
Lord, open end of sky

Lord, I'm told that undertaker
Undertaker, please drive slow
For the lady that you′re holding
Lord, I hate to see her go


Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a greater love a-waiting
Lord, open end of sky

I will follow close behind her
Tried to hold up and be strong
But I could not hold my sorrow
When they laid her in the grave

I just could not keep her
I'd play off with the whole back rumble
Laid her in a tomb
I′d play off with the whole back rumble
Lean on, baby
