circle, uncle

I was standing by my window,On one cold and cloudy dayWhen I saw that hearse come rollingFor to carry my mother awayWill the circle be unbrokenBy and by, Lord, by and byThere's a better home a-waitingIn the sky, Lord, in the skyI said to that undertakerUndertaker please drive slowFor this lady you are carryingLord, I hate to see here goI went back home, my home was lonesomeMissed my mother, she was goneAll of my brothers, sisters cryingWhat a home so sad and loneWill the circle be unbrokenBy and by, Lord, by and byThere's a better home a-waitingIn the sky, Lord, in the sky

G                       C               G
Delta Dawn what's that flower you have on
D7
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by
    G                           C                  G
And did I hear you say he was a meeting you here today
                   D7             C
To take you to his mansion in the sky

G                       C                     G
She's forty-one and her daddy still calls her baby
                     C                     G
All the folks around Brownsville say she's crazy
          C                        Am       D7     G
Cause she walks around town with a suitcase in her hand
              C                      G
Looking for a mysterious dark haired man

C                G
In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn
                    C              G
Prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on
       C                              G
Then a man of low degree stood by her side
                      C                G
And promised her he'd take her for his bride
