Will the circle be unbroken - Nitty Gritty Band
G
I was standing by my window
C G
On a cold and cloudy day
When I saw that hearse come rolling
D G
For to carry my mother away.
[Chorus]
G
Will the circle be unbroken
C G
Bye and bye Lord, bye and bye,
There's a better world home a-waiting
D G
In the sky Lord, in the sky.
G
I said to the undertaker,
C G
Under--taker please drive slow
For that body that you are carrying
D G
Lord, I hate to see her go.
[Chorus]
G
Will the circle be unbroken
C G
Bye and bye Lord, bye and bye,
There's a better world home a-waiting
D G
In the sky Lord, in the sky.
G
Well I followed close behind her
C G
Tried to hold up and be brave
But I could not hide my sorrow
D G
When they laid her in that grave.
[Chorus]
G
Will the circle be unbroken
C G
Bye and bye Lord, bye and bye,
There's a better world home a-waiting
D G
In the sky Lord, in the sky.
G
I went back home, lord that home was lonesome
C G
Since my mother, she was gone
All my brothers, and sisters crying
D G
What a home so sad and a--lone
[Chorus]
G
Will the circle be unbroken
C G
Bye and bye Lord, bye and bye,
There's a better world home a-waiting
D G
In the sky Lord, in the sky.
