Will the Circle Be Unbroken Lyrics

- MUSIC INTRO -

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

-MUSIC-

I said to that undertaker
Undertaker please drive slow
For this lady you are carrying
Lord, I hate to see her go
-Repeat Chorus-

-MUSIC-

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
-Repeat Chorus-

-MUSIC-

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

-Repeat Chorus-

-MUSIC-

-Repeat Chorus-
