Alexis Korner Will The Circle Be Unbroken Lyrics

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

How we're standing by my window
On one cold and cloudy day
When I saw this hearse come rolling
For to carry my mother away

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

Lord I told the undertaker
Undertaker please drive slow
For this body you are haulin'
Lord I hate to see her go

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

Well I followed close behind her
Tried to hold up and be brave
Well I could not hide my sorrow
When they laid her in her grave

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

Oh when back home Lord
My home was lonesome
Mist my mother she was gone
All my brothers, sisters crying
What a home so sad and low
