The Staple Singers - Too Close

Will The Circle Be Unbroken

I was standing by my window
On a cold and cloudy day
When I saw the horse come rollin'
For to carry my mother away

Will the circle be unbroken?
By and by Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waitin'
In the sky Lord, in the sky

For I told the undertaker
"Undertaker, please drive slow"
'Cause this lady that you're haulin'
Oh, I hate to see her go

Will the circle be unbroken?
By and by Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waitin'
In the sky Lord, in the sky

I will follow close behind her
Try to hold up and be brave
But I could not hole 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-waitin'
In the sky Lord, in the sky
