Will the Circle Be Unbroken Songtext
von The Youngbloods

Traditional

I was standing by my window
On a cold and rainy day
When I saw that hearse come rolling
For to take my mother away.

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There′s a better home a-waiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky.

I said to that undertaker
'Undertaker, please, drive slow′
'For that lady that you are carrying'
′Lord, I hate to see here go′.


Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
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 hold my sorrow
When they laid her in the grave.

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There′s a better home a-waiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky.

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky.
