Will The Circle Be Unbroken (feat. Vince Gill) [Live]

I was standing by my window

On a cold and cloudy day

When I saw that hearse come rollin'

Ah, to carry my mother away

Will that circle be unbroken?

By and by, Lord, by and by

You know there's a better home, home awaitin'

In the sky, Lord, in the sky

Undertaker (Yes, sir) Oh, you undertaker (Yes, sir)

Please drive slow, please drive slow

'Cause you know for that body that you carry

Lord, I hate, Lord, I hate to see her go

(Will the circle) Sing it (Be unbroken?) Sing it, y'all

By and by, Lord, by and by

There's a better home awaitin'

In the sky, Lord, in the sky

Now I followed close behind her (Yeah)

Tried to hold up and, I tried to hold up and be brave

But I could not hide my sorrow

When they laid her, when they laid my girl away

Will the circle be unbroken?

By and by, Lord, by and by

There's a better home awaitin'

In the sky, Lord, in the sky

I was standing by my window

On a cold and cloudy day (Yes, sir)

(Sing your song, sing your song)

When I saw that hearse come rollin'

For to carry my mom away

Will the circle be unbroken?

By and by, Lord, by and by

There's a better home awaitin'

In the sky, Lord, in the sky

Back home, my home was lonesome

Miss my mother 'cause she was gone

All of my brothers, sisters cryin'

What a home, so sad and lone

Will the circle be unbroken?

By and by, Lord, by and by

There's a better home awaitin'

In the sky, Lord, in the sky

Well, we sang, sang the songs of childhood (Sing your song)

Hymns of faith (Sing your song) Made us strong

Oh, ones that mother (Yes, sir) Oh, my, my mother Maybelle taught us (Sing your song)

Hear the angels sing along

Will the circle be unbroken?

By and by, Lord, by and by

There's a better home awaitin'

In the sky, Lord, in the sky

Will the circle be unbroken?

By and by, Lord, by and by

There's a better home awaitin'

In the sky, Lord, in the sky
