May The Circle Be Unbroken

I was standing at my window
On a cold and cloudy day
When I saw a hearse come rolling
Oh to carry my sweetheart away

By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

Oh I told the undertaker
Undertaker, please drive slow
'Cause this lady that you're holding
Oh I hate to see her go

May the circle be unbroken...

I will follow close behind her
Try to hold up and be brave
But I could not hold my sorrow
As they laid her in her grave

May 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
