Will the Circle Be Unbroken |
I was standing by my window |
On a 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 |
Lord, I told that undertaker |
Undertaker please drive slow |
For this body you’re haulin' |
Lord, I hate to see here 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 |
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 that 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 |
I went back home Lord, my home was lonesome |
Searched my mother, she was gone |
All of my brothers, sisters crying |
What a home, so sad and lone |
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 |
