Ramblin' Jack Elliott - Will the Circle Be Unbroken lyrics

[Verse 1] I was standing by my window On one cold and cloudy day Was I saw that herst come rolling For to take my mother away Undertaker,undertaker Undertaker please drive slow Because the body that you are carrying Lord I hate to see her go [Chorus] Will the circle be unbroken By and by, Lord, by and by There's a better home a-waiting In the sky, Lord, in the sky [Verse 2] Oh, I followed close behind her Tried to hold up and be brave But I could not hide my sorrow When they laid her in the grave [Chorus] [Verse 3] I went back home, my home was lonesome Missed my mother, she was gone All of my brothers, sisters crying What a home so sad and lone [Chorus] [Verse 4] We sang the songs of childhood Hymns of faith that made us strong Ones that Mother Maybelle taught us Hear the angels sing along [Chorus][x2]
