Will the Circle Be Unbroken

I was standing by my window On a cold and cloudy day When I saw the hearse come a-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 In the sky, Lord, in the sky Well, I told the undertaker "Undertaker, please drive slow For this lady but you're holding Oh, I hate to see her go" I'm gonna follow close behind her Try and hold up and be brave But I could not hold 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, surely better home awaiting In the sky, Lord, in the sky
