J. F. Oakes - Will the Circle be Unbroken [Remastered] Lyrics

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

Will the circle be unbroken
Bye and bye, Lord, bye and bye
'Cause there's a better home a-waiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

Lord I told the undertaker,
Said, "Undertaker, won't you please drive slow,
For this body you are haulin'
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, up in the sky

Well, I followed close behind her,
And I tried to hold up and be brave,
But I could not hide my sorrow
When they laid her in the grave.

Will the circle be unbroken
Bye and bye, Lord, bye and bye
'Cause there's a better home a-waiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky, Lord
In the sky, Lord, up in the sky

I went back home lord
My home was lonesome;
Yes my mother ya know she was gone.
And all my brothers, sisters cryin'
What a home so sad and lone.

Will the circle be unbroken
Bye and bye, Lord, bye and bye
'Cause there's a better home a-waiting
In the sky, Lord, up in the sky

Will the circle be unbroken
Bye and bye, Lord, bye and bye
'Cause there's a better home a-waiting
In the sky, Lord, up in the sky
