Johnny Cash — Will the Circle Be Unbroken

[Verse 1] I was standing by the window On one cold and cloudy day When I saw the hearse come rolling For to carry my mother away [Chorus] Will the circle be unbroken Bye and bye Lord, bye and bye There's a better home awaiting In the sky Lord, in the sky [Verse 2] I said to the undertaker Undertaker please drive slow For this lady you are carrying Lord I hate to see her go [Chorus] [Verse 3] 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 4] I went back home, the home was lonesome Since my mother, she was gone All my brothers and sisters crying What a home so sad and alone [Chorus] [Verse 5] We sang songs of childhood Hymns of faith that made us strong Ones that mother maybelle taught us Hear the angels sing along [Chorus]
