Will the Circle Be Unbroken

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 was standing by my window

On one cold and cloudy day

When I saw that hearse come rolling

While they carried 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

Lord, I told that undertaker

Undertaker, please drive slow

For this lady you are holding

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

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 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

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
