Will The Circle Be Unbroken (Glory, Glory)

Traditional, A.P. Carter

[Intro - Doc Watson]
Glory, glory, hallelujah
When I lay my burden down

Glory, glory, hallelujah
When I lay my burden down

I was standing by my window
On a cold and a cloudy day
When I saw that hearse come a-rollin'
For to carry my mother away

[Chorus - All]
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

[Alison Krauss]
I said to that undertaker
Undertaker, please drive slow
For this body, you are haulin'
Oh, I hate to see her go

[Chorus - All]
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

[Taj Mahal]
I followed close behind her
Tried to hold up and be brave
But I could not hide my sorrow
When they laid her in the grave

[Chorus - All]
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

[Doc Watson]
I went back home then, my home was lonesome
Since momma, she was gone
All of my brothers, sisters cryin'
What a home so sad and lone

[Chorus - All]
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

[Chorus - All]
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

[Outro - Doc Watson]
Glory, glory, hallelujah
When I lay my burden down

Glory, glory, hallelujah
When I lay my burden down
