Will the Circle Be Unbroken

Will The Circle Be Unbroken

First Verse
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

Chorus
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

2nd Verse
I said to that undertaker
Undertaker, please drive slow
For this lady you are carrying
Lord, I hate to see here go

Chorus
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

3rd Verse
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

Chorus
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

4th Verse
I went back home, the home was Lonesome
Missed my mother, she was gone
All of my brothers, sisters crying
What a home so sad and lone

Chorus
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

5th Verse
We sang the songs of childhood Hymns of faith that made us strong Ones our sweet Mother, Sweet Mother taught us
Hear the angels sing along

Chorus
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

Chorus
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
