Chorus
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by Lord, by and by,
There's a better world home a-waiting
In the sky Lord, in the sky.
Verse
I was standing by my window
On a cold and cloudy day
When I saw that hearse come rolling
For to carry my mother away.
Chorus
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by Lord, by and by,
There's a better world home a-waiting
In the sky Lord, in the sky.
Verse
Lord, I told that undertaker,
Undertaker please drive slow
For this body that you are hauling
Lord, I hate to see her go.
Chorus
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by Lord, by and by,
There's a better world home a-waiting
In the sky Lord, in the sky.
Verse
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.
Chorus
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by Lord, by and by,
There's a better world home a-waiting
In the sky Lord, in the sky.
Verse
I went home, my home was lonely
Now my mother she was gone
All my brothers, sisters crying
What a home so sad and alone
Chorus
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by Lord, by and by,
There's a better world home a-waiting
In the sky Lord, in the sky.
