Will The Circle Be Unbroken

Lyrics

I was standing by my window
 On one cold and cloudy day
 When I saw that 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
 I said to that undertaker
 Undertaker please drive slow
 For this lady you are carrying
 Lord, I hate to see here go
 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
 Oh, 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
 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
 I went back home, my home was lonesome
 Missed my mother, she was gone
 All of 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 a-waiting
 In the sky, Lord, in the sky
 We sang the songs of childhood
 Hymns of faith that made us strong
 Ones that Mother Maybelle taught us
 Hear the angels sing along
 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
 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
