Will the Circle Be Unbroken

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I was standing by my window On a cold and cloudy day When I saw the hearse come rolling For to carry my mother away [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] I said to the undertaker Undertaker, please drive slow For this lady you are carrying Lord, I hate to see her go [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] I followed close behind her Tried to hold up and be brave But I could not hide my sorrow When they laid her in the grave [Chorus] 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 [Verse 4] I went back home, home was so lonesome Missed my mother, she was gone All my brothers, sisters crying What a home so sad alone [Chorus] 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 [Outro] There's a better home awaiting In the sky Lord, in the sky In the sky Lord, in the sky
