Will the Circle Be Unbroken

I was standing by my window On a cold and cloudy day When I saw the hearse come rolling To carry 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 I said to the undertaker "Undertaker, please drive slow For this lady, you are hauling Lord, I hate to see her go" I will follow close behind her Try to hold up and be brave But I could not hide my sorrow When they laid her in her grave Went back home and home was lonesome Since my mother, she had gone Found my brothers, sisters crying What a home so sad and lone 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
