will the circle be unbroken (encore)

i was standing by my window

on a cold and cloudy day

when i saw he 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 awaiting

in the sky

lord

in the sky

well

i went back home

home was lonely

for my mother she was gone

and all my family there was cryin'

for our home felt sad and alone

will the circle be unbroken

by and by

lord

by and by?

there's a better home awaiting

in the sky

lord

in the sky

undertaker

undertaker

undertaker

won't you please drive slow?

for that lady you are haulin'

lord

i hate to see her go

will the circle be unbroken

by and by

lord

by and by?

there's a better home awaiting

in the sky

lord

in the sky

there's a better home awaiting

in the sky

lord

in the sky
