von Johnny Cash

Worum geht es in dem Song?

Der Songtext "Will the Circle Be Unbroken" von Johnny Cash handelt von einem traurigen Ereignis, nämlich dem Tod der Mut...

I was standing by the window
On one cold and cloudy day
When I saw the hearse come rolling
For to carry my mother away

Refrain:
Will the circle be unbroken
Bye and bye Lord, bye and bye
There′s a better home awaiting
In the sky Lord, in the sky

I said to the undertaker
Undertaker please drive slow
For this lady you are carrying
Lord I hate to see her go

(Refrain)

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

(Refrain)

I went back home, the home was lonesome
Since my mother, she was gone
All my brothers and sisters crying
What a home so sad and alone

(Refrain)

We sang songs of childhood
Hymns of faith that made us strong
Ones that mother maybelle taught us
Hear the angels sing along

(Refrain)
