Will the Circle Be Unbroken

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

I said to that undertaker
Undertaker please drive slow
For this lady 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 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

I went back home, my home was lonesome
Missed my mama, she was gone
All my brothers, sisters crying
What a home so sad and 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

We sang songs from our childhood
Hymns of faith that made us strong
Ones that our mother taught us
We heard 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 awaiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
