Will the circle be unbroken?
By and by lord, by and by
Theres a better home a-waitin
In the sky lord, in the sky
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
Will the circle be unbroken?
By and by lord, by and by
Theres a better home a-waitin
In the sky lord, in the sky
I told the undertaker:
Undertaker, please drive slow
For this body you are haulin
Lord, I hate to see her go
Will the circle be unbroken?
By and by lord, by and by
Theres a better home a-waitin
In the sky lord, in the sky
Well 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
Theres 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 my brothers and sisters crying
In our home so sad and alone
Will the circle be unbroken?
By and by lord, by and by
Theres a better home a-waitin
In the sky lord, in the sky
We sang the songs of childhood
Hymns of faith that made us strong
Ones that our mother had taught us
Hear the angels sing along
Will the circle be unbroken?
By and by lord, by and by
Theres a better home a-waitin
In the sky lord, in the sky
