I was standin' by my window on a cold and cloudy day
When I saw the hearse come a rolling to take my mother away

Will the circle be unbroken by and by Lord by and by
There's a better home awaitin' in the sky Lord in the sky

Oh I told the undertaker undertaker please drive slow
Cause the lady that you're hauling oh I hate to see her go
Will the circle be unbroken...

I will follow close behind her and try 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...
