[ Johnny Wright ]

I was standing by my window on one cold and cloudy day
When 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 awaiting in the sky Lord in the sky

Well I told the undertaker undertaker please drive slow
For this body you are hauling Lord I hate to see her go
Can the circle be unbroken
[ guitar ]
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 her grave
Can the circle be unbroken
