Lyrics
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
Well I was 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 awaiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
Undertaker, undertaker
Undertaker please drive slow
For that body you are hauling
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
Well, 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 awaiting
In the sky Lord, in the sky
Well I went back home yes
my home was hopeful
although mother had gone home
with my family stand together
now no one stands alone
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
Oh 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
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky Lord, in the sky
