Will the Circle Be Unbroken

I was standing by my window, On a cold and cloudy day
When I saw that hearse come rolling, For to carry my mother away

Chorus
Will 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 drive slow
For the body you are hauling, Lord I hate to see her go

Yes 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

Went back home, Lord, oh so lonesome, Since my mother she was gone
All my brothers, sisters crying, What a home, so sad and lone
