Burl Ives - 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 (break) Well I told the undertaker Undertaker please drive slow For the body that you are hauling Lord, I hate to see her go chorus (break) 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 her grave chorus (break) 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 chorus
