Jesulein süss / Will the Circle Be Unbroken Songtext
von Mountain City Four

One, two

O Jesulein süß, o Jesulein mild
Des Vaters Willen hast du erfüllt
Bist kommen aus dem Himmelreich
Uns armen Menschen worden gleich
O Jesulein süß, o Jesulein mild

I was standing by my window
On a cold and cloudy day
When I saw the 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 mister undertaker
Undertaker, please drive slow
For that body which you're 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

While I followed close behind her
Tried to hold up and be brave
But I could not hide my sorrow
When they laid her in her 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

May 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
