Will the circle be unbroken [C] I was standing by my window, On a [F] cold and cloudy [C] day. When I saw that hearse come rolling, For to carry my [G7] mother a[C] way. Chorus: [C] Will the circle be unbroken, By and [F]by, Lord, by and [C] by? There's a better home a-waiting, In the sky, Lord, [G7] in the [C] sky. [C] Lord, I told that undertaker, "Under[F]taker, please drive [C]slow. For the body you are hauling, Lord, I hate to [G7] see her [C] go." [C], I followed close behind her, Tried to [F]hold up and be [C] brave. But I could not hide my sorrow, When they laid her [G7] in the [C] grave. [C] Went back home, Lord, my home was lonesome, Since my [F] mother, she was [C] gone. All my brothers, sister cryin', What a home so [G7] sad and [C] lone.
