Will the Circle Be Unbroken

                                  I was standing by my window

On a cold and cloudy day

When I saw that hearse wheel rolling

It was taking my sister away



Said, undertaker, undertaker

Won't you please drive real slow?

That's my little baby sister

Not a soul came to see her go



Will the circle be unbroken?

By and by lord, by and by

There's a better home awaiting

In the sky lord, in the sky



I was standing by my window

On a cold and cloudy day

When I saw that hearse wheel rolling

It was taking my mother away



Undertaker, undertaker

Won't you please drive real slow?

That's my mother, my dear old mother

I sure hate to see her go



Circle be unbroken

By and by, lord, by and by

There's a better home awaiting

In the sky lord, in the sky



Years have passed now

By the same old window

On the cold and cloudy day

When I see the hearse wheels rolling

They was taking Chief Jolly away



Undertaker, undertaker

Won't you please drive real slow?

That's Chief Jolly that you're carryin'

I sure hate to see him go
