Subject: Lyr Add: CAN THE CIRCLE BE UNBROKEN?^^^
i'm amazed that this isn't on the database:

Will the Circle Be Unbroken

        G                G7        C               G
I was standing by my window on a cold and cloudy day
As I watched the hearse come rollin' for to carry my
D7 G
mother away/
Chorus (same tune)
Will the circle be unbroken, by and by, Lord, by and by?
There's a better home a-waitin' in the sky, Lord, in the sky.

Oh, I told the undertaker, "Undertaker, please drive slow
'Cause that body you are haulin', Lord, I hate to see her go.

Well, I followed close behind her, tried to hold up and be brave,
But I could not hide my sorrow as they laid her in her grave.

I went back home, my home was lonesome, since my mother, she was gone.
All my brothers and sisters crying, what a home so sad and lorn.
