Will the Circle Be Unbroken (1966)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I was standing by my window On a cold and cloudy day When I saw the hearse come rolling To make my mother away [Chorus] Will the circle be unbroken By and by, Lord, by and by? There's a better home a-waiting In the sky, Lord, in the sky [Verse 2] Oh, I told the undertaker "Undertaker, please drive slow Cause the lady that you're hauling Ooh, I hate to see her go" [Chorus] Will the circle be unbroken By and by, Lord, by and by? There's a better home a-waiting In the sky, Lord, in the sky [Verse 3] I will follow closе behind her Tried to hold hеr and be brave But I could not hold 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 a-waiting In the sky, Lord, in the sky
