will the circle be unbroken

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 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 a-waiting

in the sky lord in the sky

i went back home my home was lonely

for my mother she was gone

all my family they were crying

feeling sad and all alone

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

undertaker undertaker

won't you please drive real slow

for that lady you are hauling

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
