Lyrics

A Circle Unbroken

Early one morning before the sunrise
Up on a hill where my ancestors lie
By the light of the moon over old Kentucky
I pay my respects and I say my goodbyes

All the way from California
To the hills of Tennessee
Just a traveler unbound in a circle unbroken
On the way back to where I came from

A house on a hill on the Cumberland River
A dog by my side, he’s my only friend
I know sooner than later
you’ll meet your maker
Maybe someday I will see you again

All the way from California
To the hills of Tennessee
Just a traveler unbound in a circle unbroken
On the way back to where I came from

Just a traveler unbound in a circle unbroken
On the way back to where I came from
