Will the Circle Be Unbroken

I was standing by my window,

On a cold and cloudy day

When I saw that hearse come rolling

Oh to carry my mother away

So I told the undertaker

Undertaker please drive slow

For that lady that you are haulin'

Oh I hate to see here go

Tell me will the circle be unbroken

By and by, lord, by and by

There's a better home there waiting

In the sky, lord, in the sky

Will the circle be unbroken

(Will the circle be unbroken)

By and by, lord, by and by

(By and by, lord, by and by)

There's a better home a-waiting

(There's a better home a-waiting)

In the sky, lord, in the sky

(In the sky, lord, in the sky)

So I followed close behind her

Tried to hold up and be brave

But I could not hold my sorrow

When they laid her in the grave

Will the circle be unbroken

(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)

So I followed close behind her

Tried to hold up and be brave yeah

But I could not hold my sorrow

When they laid her in the grave

Say will that 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 will the circle be unbroken

(Will the circle be unbroken)

By and by, lord, by and by

(By and by, lord, by and by)

There's a better home a-waiting

(There's a better home a-waiting)

In the sky, lord, in the sky

(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

Will the circle be unbroken

By and by, lord, by and by

There's a better home there waiting

In the sky, lord, in the sky

Say now 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
