For those interested, there are two versions of this song: Will the Circle Be Unbroken and Can the Circle Be Unbroken. The first is more of a hymn, the second more of a song of mourning. Both specifically reference the Lord.
Uh, the starbuck singers were unaware of the lyric change? HUH? Looked like some of them were old enough to know the words to the “traditional” version. The better half and I both took note and exception to the substitution. “O” meaning the “lyin’ king”? Nothing is impossible anymore so maybe...........
