By: Cater Family
Song: Will The Circle Be Unbroken

I was st(E)anding by my window
On one c(A)old cold and cloudy d(E)ay,
(E)When I saw that hearse come rollin'
For to carry¨(B7) my mother a(E)way.

(Chorus)
Will the(E) circle be unbroken?
By and by(A) Lord, by and(E) by,
(E)There's a better home a-waitin'
In the sky Lord(B7), in the (E)sky.

I told that undertaker,
"Undertaker, please drive slow,
For this lady you are haulin' Lord,
How I hate to see her go."(Chorus)

Well 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 X5)

You can change the words, he for she, her for him or name, plus carry my 
mother away for carry my love away, etc.
There have been tons of different versions. pick the one you like.

Also - instead of "I told the undertaker," it should be "I called to the undertaker"
