Can the Circle Be Unbroken

I was standing by the window On one cold and cloudy day And I saw the hearse come rolling For to carry my mother away Can 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 Lord, I told the undertaker Undertaker, please drive slow For this body you are hauling Lord I hate to see her go Can 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 followed close behind her Tried to hold up and be brave But I could not hide my sorrow When they laid her in the grave Can 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 Went back home, Lord My home was lonesome Miss my mother she was gone All my brothers, sisters cryin' What a home so sad and lone Can 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
