will the circle be unbroken
I was standing by my window
On a cold and cloudy day
When I saw the hearse come rollin
For to take my mother away
Will the circle be unbroken?
By and by
Lord, by and by
Theres a better home a-waitin
In the sky
Lord, in the sky
I told the undertaker'Undertaker, please drive slowFor this lady that youre haulin LordI hate to see her go.'
Well I followed close behind
Tried to hold the family grace
But I could not hide my sorrow
When they laid herein the grave
I went back home , my house was lonesome
Cause my mother, she was gone
All my brothers, sisters, crying
What a home, so sad and lone
One by one the seats were empty
One by one they went away
Now my family, they are parted
Will they meet again someday
Will the circle be unbroken?
By and by
Lord, by and by
Theres a better home a-waitin
In the sky
Lord, in the sky
