Songtexte Will The Circle Be Unbroken (With Pop And Mavis Staples) - George Jones

I was standin' by my window
On a cold and cloudy day
When I saw that hearse come rollin'
Oh, to take my mother away

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
Well, there's a better home a-waitin'
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

Well, I told that undertaker
"Please undertaker
Won't you please drive slow
'Cause this lady that you are hauling
Lord, I hate to see her go"

Oh, will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waitin'
In the sky, Lord, yes, in the sky

I will follow close behind her
Try to hold up and be brave
But I could not hold my sorrow
When they laid her in, oh the grave

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, yes, by and by
There's a better home a-waitin'
In the sky, Lord, yes, in the sky

Oh, yeah
In the sky, Lord, in the sky (in the sky)
