Will the Circle Be Unbroken
I was standin' by my window
On a cold and cloudy day
When I saw the hearse come rollin'
For to carry my mother away
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by?
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
Well, I told that undertaker
Undertaker, please drive slow
For this body you are hauling
Lord, I hate to see her go
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by?
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
Oh, we gathered closе beside her
Triеd to stand up and be brave
But we could not hide our feelin's
When they laid her in the grave
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by?
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
I went home, our home was lonesome
Since, our mother, she had gone
All my sisters, brothers cryin'
What a home, so sad and low
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by?
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
Oh, there's a better home awaiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
