Will The Circle Be Unbroken Lyrics - The Stanley Brothers

I was standing by the window 

On a cold and cloudy day 

When I saw the hearse come rolling 

To carry my mother away 

Will the circle be unbroken 

Bye and bye Lord bye and bye 

There's a better home a waiting 

In the sky Lord in the sky 

I said to the undertaker 

Undertaker please drive slow 

For this lady you are carrying 

Lord I hate to see her go 

Will the circle be unbroken 

Bye and bye Lord bye and bye 

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 hide my sorrow 

When they laid her in that grave 

Will the circle be unbroken 

Bye and bye Lord bye and bye 

There's a better home a waiting 

In the sky Lord in the sky 

I went back home that home was lonesome 

Since my mother, she was gone 

All my brothers and sisters crying 

What a home so sad and alone
