Will the Circle Be Unbroken? lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was standing by my window
On a cold and cloudy day
When I saw the hearse come rolling
For to carry my mother away

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

[Verse 2]
Well, I went back home, home was lonely
For my mother, she was gone
And all my family there was cryin'
For our home felt sad and alone

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

[Verse 3]
Undertaker, undertaker, undertaker
Won't you please drive slow?
For that lady you are hauling
Lord, I hate to see her go
[Chorus]
Will the circle be unbroken?
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
