Will the Circle Be Unbroken

(A.P.Carter)

Danial I'Donnell



I was standin' by the window

On a cold and cloudy day

When I saw that hearse come rollin'

For to carry my mother away.



Will the circle be unbroken

By and by, Lord, by and by

There's a better home a-waitin'

In the sky, Lord, in the sky.



I said pitty, undertaker

Undertaker please drive slow

For this lady you are carryin'

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-waitin'

In the sky, Lord, in the sky.

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.



Will the circle be unbroken

By and by, Lord, by and by

There's a better home a-waitin'

In the sky, Lord, in the sky.



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.



Will the circle be unbroken

By and by, Lord, by and by

There's a better home a-waitin'

In the sky, Lord, in the sky.



Will the circle be unbroken

By and by, Lord, by and by

There's a better home a-waitin'

In the sky, Lord, in the sky.



There's a better home a-waitin'

In the sky, Lord, in the sky...
