I was standin' by my window On a cold and cloudy day When I saw that hearse come rollin' And it took my mother away Will the circle be unbroken By and by-why, by and by There's a better home awaitin' In the sky Lord, in the sky Lord, I told that undertaker Undertaker please drive slow For that lady that your takin' Lord, I hate to see her go Will the circle be unbroken By and by-why, by and by There's a better home awaitin' In the sky Lord, in the sky I will follow close behind her Try to hold up and be brave But I could not hide my sorrow When they laid her in her grave Will the circle be unbroken By and by-why, by and by There's a better home awaiting In the sky Lord, in the sky Will the circle be unbroken By and by-why, by and by There's a better home awaiting In the sky Lord, in the sky Will the circle be unbroken By and by-why, by and by [fade]
