Will The Circle Be Unbroken? RIV 577
Duke Okada, Kumi Takahashi, Mitchell Osawa

OPENER

Circle Left
I was standing by my window
On one cold and cloudy day

Left Allemande the Corner, do a Do Sa Do
The Boys Star Left inside
Turn your Partner by the Right and go Left Allemande
Swing that girl and Promenade
When I saw that hearse come rolling
For to carry my mother away

Break Lyrics

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

Closer Lyrics

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

FIGURE

Heads Square Thru, get me 4 hands around
Split the Outside Two, Around 1 to a Line
Pass the Ocean, Swing Thru, Recycle 'round
Touch 1/4, Girls Fold, Boys Turn Thru
Look to the Corner girl, Swing, Promenade
There's a better home a-waiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

ALTERNATE FIGURE

Sides face, Grand Square
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

Sides Square Thru...Will the circle be unbroken
Swing your Corner, Promenade
There's a better home a-waiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

TAG

Lord, in the sky
