Allman Brothers
what are the words of the song will the circle be unbroken as sung by the allman brothers band?
It is the 6:05 version.....and its live....looking for the word for word lyrics.....So far all sites have the words wrong....Or they don't have them.....
Chorus
Will the circle be unbroken
Bye and bye, Lord, bye and bye
There's a better home a-waiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
Well I went home, one day, I found my home was empty
Now my mother she had gone
And my brothers and sisters were crying
Oh you know their home was so all alone
[Chorus]
Undertaker, oh undertaker
Please drive slow, oh please drive slow
'Cause you know that body you are hauling
Oh I hate to see it go
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
This is the longer, more traditional version:
Chorus
Will the circle be unbroken
Bye and bye, Lord, bye and bye
There's a better home a-waiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
I was standing by my window
One cold December day
When I saw the hearse come rolling
For to carry my mother away
[Chorus]
Lord I told the undertaker
Undertaker please drive slow
For this body you are taking
Lord I hate to see her go
[Chorus]
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]
I went home, my home was empty
Now my mother she has gone
All my brothers, sisters sitting crying
What a home so sad and alone
[Chorus]
