Will The Circle Be Unbroken                       
(Willie Nelson, Traditional)                      
                                                  
I was standing by my window,  On a cold and       
cloudy day. When I saw that hearse come rolling,  
For to carry my mother away.                      
                                                  
[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.                             
                                                  
Lord, I told that undertaker,  "Undertaker,       
please drive slow. For the lady you are           
carrying, Lord, I hate to see her go."            
                                                  
[chorus]                                          
                                                  
Lord, 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]                                          
                                                  
Went back home, Lord, my home was                 
lonesome,  Since my mother, she was gone. All     
my brothers, sister cryin', What a home so sad    
and lone.
