A cousin played guitar and sang this at Dad's service.


Will the Circle Be Unbroken
Johnny Cash

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

Sounds like a good choice to play RC. If he is like my dad, he is looking down at you and you will know it. Hope your spirits get lifted. :notworthy:

Releventchair, you have my deepest condolences. May you be blessed with peace, comfort and strength during this season.

The "Daddy Sang Bass" version is one of my favorites. My dad used to play it and I sang the tenor. I will probably have it played for him, also.

It comes from a hymn written by Ada R. Habershon in 1907, with music by Charles H. Gabriel.
