Will the Circle Be Unbroken

I was a-standing by my window

On one cold and cloudy day

When I saw the hearse come rolling

For to carry my mother away

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

Undertaker, oh, undertaker

Undertaker, please drive slow

'Cause that lady you are holding

Oh Lord, I hate to see her go

Oh, will that circle be unbroken?

By and by, Lord, by and by

Well, there's a better home a-waiting

In the sky, Lord, in the sky

When I went back home, Lord, my home was lonesome

Lord, I miss my mother, she was gone

I had all my brothers and my sisters crying

What a home, so sad and alone

Oh, will that circle, will it be unbroken?

By and by, Lord, by and by

Well, there's a better home a-waiting

In the sky, Lord, in the sky

Oh, will that circle, will it be unbroken?

By and by, Lord, by and by

Lord, there's a better home a-waiting

In the sky, Lord, in the sky, yeah, yeah, yeah
