I was standing by my window
On a cold and cloudy day
When I saw the hearse come rollin'
For to take my mother away
I told the undertaker
Undertaker, please drive slow
'Cause that lady that you are haulin'
Oh, I hate to see her go
Will the circle be unbroken?
By and by, Lord, by and b
There's a better home awaitin'
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
Will the circle be unbroken?
By and by Lord, by and by
There's a better home awaitin'
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
Will the circle be unbroken?
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home awaitin'
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
So, I followed close behind her
Tried to hold up and be brave
But I could not hold my sorrow
When they laid her in the grave
Oh, tell me when the circle be unbroken?
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home awaitin'
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
Will the circle be unbroken?
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home awaitin'
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
Tell me, when the circle be unbroken?
Oh, by and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home awaitin'
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
When the circle be unbroken?
By and by, Lord, by and by
Oh there's a better home away
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
