Circle Be Unbroken

Cat. #1565 (MFH #119) - As sung by J.J. "Red" Curry, Fayetteville, Arkansas on August 18, 1975

VERSE 1
I was standing by my window
One cold an' cloudy day
When I saw th hearse come rollin'
For to carry my Mother away

CHORUS:
There's a circle be unbroken
Bye an' bye Lord, bye an' bye
There's a better home awaitin'
In th sky Lord, in th sky

VERSE 2
I followed close behind her
Tryin' to hold back family grief
But I could not hide th sorrow
When they laid her in her grave

VERSE 3
Went back home to -- -- -- lonely
But my Mother she has gone
An' my sisters all were crying
What a home, so sad an' lone

VERSE 4
Brothers an Sisters, all were crying
For our home, so sad an' lone
Will th circle be unbroken
You will always meet us at home
