The Carter Family - Can the circle be unbroken lyrics

I was standing by my 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 Oh, I told the undertaker Undertaker, please drive slow For this body you are hauling How 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 Lord, 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 lonely Since my mother she had gone 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
