Will the Circle Be Unbroken [Live]

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

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

I said to the undertaker:

Undertaker, please drive slow

For this lady you are carrying

Lord, I hate to see her go

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

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 awaiting

In the sky, Lord, in the sky

I went back home, my home was lonely

My dear mother, she was gone

All 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 awaiting

In the sky, Lord, in the sky

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
