Can The Circle Be Unbroken by Carter Family
Can The Circle Be Unbroken lyrics
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.
Can 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.
Can 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 beside her
Tried to hold up and be brave
But I could not hide my sorrow
When they laid her in the grave.
Can 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.
Went back home
Lord my home was lonesome
All my brothers sisters crying
What a home so sad and lone.
Can 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.
