Will The Circle Be Unbroken - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band · Mother Maybelle Carter and many more 1972

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

 

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

 

Lord, I told the undertaker
Undertaker, please drive slow
For this body you are hauling 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

 

I followed close behind her
Tried to hold up and be brave
But I could not hide my sorrow
When they laid her in her 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 

Lord, my home was lonesome
Miss my mother she was gone
All my brothers, sisters crying
What a home so sad and lone

 

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
