Can the Circle Be Unbroken |
| I was standing by the window |
| On one cold and cloudy day |
| And I saw the hearse come rolling |
| For to carry my mother away |
| Can 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 the undertaker |
| Undertaker, please drive slow |
| For this body you are hauling |
| How I hate to see her go I followed close beside her |
| Tried to hold up and be brave |
| But I could not hide my sorrow |
| When they laid her in the grave |
| Went back home |
| Lord my home was lonesome |
| All my brothers sisters crying |
| What a home so sad and lone |
