Q&A
Will the Circle Be Unbroken Lyrics
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
Oh, I told that undertaker
Undertaker please drive slow
For this body you are holding
Lord, I hate to see her 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
I will follow 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 Lord, 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
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
On one cold and cloudy day
When I saw that hearse come rolling
For to carry my mother away
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
Undertaker please drive slow
For this body you are holding
Lord, I hate to see her go
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
Tried to hold up and be brave
But I could not hide my sorrow
When they laid her in the grave
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
Missed my mother, she was gone
All of my brothers, sisters crying
What a home so sad and lone
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
