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
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
I said to that undertaker Undertaker please drive slow For this lady you are carrying Lord, I hate to see here 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
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
I went back home, my home was lonesome Missed 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 a-waiting In the sky, lord, in the sky
We sang the songs of childhood Hymns of faith that made us strong Ones that mother maybelle taught us Hear 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 a-waiting In the sky, lord, in the sky
