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 her 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 Lord, 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 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 is the original version sung by the original carter family, and was re-written later changing the lyrics to daddy sang bass
Isn't this the last live performance Mother Maybelle sang in due to her declining health? I can't think of a better family to listen to sing all those old Carter Family and old American Gospels. :) They have blessed and reach many souls, even through death, they remain quite active in our hearts and memories.
Was wondering the same, very beautiful and very intense singer. I tried to see if she could be a daughter of one of the other Carter sisters but doesn't appear to be. Maybe a daughter of one of the other band members. He didn't name her so it's a mystery for sure.
@@mcaddicts what’s crazy is she was only 65 here. But growing up extremely poor, there are a lot of health issues, lack of preventative medical care and things being treated timely, as well as nutrition and the environment, that caused many people to age faster. (And maybe it’s just me, but people seemed to look older younger back then. My grandparents always looked old to me, but now I realize that they were just in their late 50s and early 60s when I was a little kid and thought they looked old. Now you have ladies pushing 70 in Newport Beach who could pass for 50!). Anyway, God bless Mother Maybelle and the entire Carter family. Absolute Legends.
The cash family voices will never be broken
This feels like eavesdropping, that's how intimate it is. That's the environment that Johnny Cash and family could create.
Wow , Anita ,Helen and June I just love those girls and of course the greatest of them all Mother Mabel .
Beautifully sung by the greatest singing family we have had the privilidge to be able to listen too.
Anita’s angelic voice makes me cry lol

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 her 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 Lord, 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
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 are all going to heaven some day
Yes we are..but its not automatic..only those who've accepted Jesus as their personal savior
I love Mother Maybelle!
mom’s eyes are not of this world✨✨✨
She was sick by this time. She suffered by Parkinson and died in 1978. /CD
