Will the Circle Be Unbroken? (1)

I was standing by my window

And it was a 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 bye?

     There's a better world a-waiting

     In the sky, Lord, in the sky.

             --Arlo Guthrie
