Willie Nelson - Will The Circle Be Unbroken Lyrics






I was standing by my window,
On one cold and cloudy day
When I saw that hearse come rolling
For to carry my mother away

Will the circle be unbroken
by and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waiting
in the sky, Lord, in the sky

I said to that undertaker
undertaker please drive slow
for this lady you are carrying
Lord, I hate to see here go

Will the circle be unbroken
by and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waiting
in the sky, Lord, in the sky

Oh, 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

Will the circle be unbroken
by and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waiting
in the sky, Lord, in the sky

I went back home, my home was lonesome
missed my mother, she was gone
all of my brothers, sisters crying
what a home so sad and lone

Will the circle be unbroken
by and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waiting
in the sky, Lord, in the sky

We sang the songs of childhood
Hymns of faith that made us strong
Ones that Mother Maybelle taught us
Hear the angels sing along

Will the circle be unbroken
by and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waiting
in the sky, Lord, in the sky

Will the circle be unbroken
by and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waiting
in the sky, Lord, in the sky

Willie Nelson Will The Circle Be Unbroken Comments
  1. A.... O....

    I was very blessed to have gotten to see Willie a couple of months ago in Marksville, LA! He was absolutely AWESOME!!
    But even more blessed, when he took off his signature bandanna that he had worn all thru his concert and threw it straight at me!!!!
    And It had some hair and was damp from his sweat! I have it in a zip lock bag and will always cherish it!!
    Willie you are in my prayers!!! Love You 😘!!!

  2. A.... D....

    I feel like he butchered that beautiful song. I love Willie, but this really lacks meaning.

  3. L.... B....

    God Bless Willie! He's a World Treasure!!

    I've seen Willie multiple times and I can say from experience that he draws one of the most diverse crowds I've seen. All races, all ages, all walks of life... just feeling the music. And everyone leaves his shows happy. I hope history remembers him as the American treasure he is.

  10. G.... O....

    This is beyond good. I think this may be what heaven is like. Love, love, love.

    G.... O....

    I couldn't have said it any better myself!

  11. F.... B....

    Tempo makes it a happy song. 'Could not hide my sorrow' but...I will damn sure try.

  12. J.... C....

    Always have wondered, why this mr. guy uses the uglyest guitars I´ve ever seen?

    J.... C....

    Willie's said that he has used the same guitar and when it gives out so will he. I hope that helps.
