"Will The Circle Be Unbroken" lyrics

"Will The Circle Be Unbroken"

I was standing by my window
It was on a cold and cloudy day
I said, when I saw the hearse come rolling
Oh to carry my mother away

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by?
There's a better home awaiting
Lord, in the sky, Lord, in the sky

I will follow close behind her
Try to hold up and be brave
But I could not hold my sorrow
Lord, when they laid her in the grave

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by, by and by?
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

Will the circle, will it be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by, by and by?
There's a better, better home awaiting
Lord, in the sky, Lord, in the sky

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by, by and by?
There's a better, better home awaiting
Lord, in the sky, Lord, in... yeah yeah yeah... my Lord
