This seems more like doggerel than Barbara Allen. It doesn't even read very well. I think if you like it emotionally that's fine- but the words aren't nearly as good, as complex, as ANYTHING, as Barbara Allen. Allen is a ballad with a story. This isn't much of anything. Can you see much in this? In what's actually on the page? Of course hymns aren't really my thing- I like Praise God from Whom all blessings Flow, and a couple other more classical hymns, but in general they don't appeal to me.

WILL THE CIRCLE BE UNBROKEN
Author: A.P. Carter

I was standin' by my window
On a cold, cold cloudy day
When I saw that hearse come rollin'
For to carry my mother away

(CHORUS:)
Will that 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 go slow
'Cause the woman that you're takin'
Well I hate, I hate to see her go

(REPEAT CHORUS)
