Will the circle be unbroken Bye and bye Lord, bye and bye There's a better home awaiting In the sky Lord, in the sky How we're standing by my window On one cold and cloudy day When I saw this hearse come rolling For to carry my mother away Will the circle be unbroken Bye and bye Lord, bye and bye There's a better home awaiting In the sky Lord, in the sky Lord 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 Bye and bye Lord, bye and bye There's a better home awaiting In the sky Lord, in the sky Well I followed close behind her Tried to hold up and be brave Well I could not hide my sorrow When they laid her in her grave Will the circle be unbroken Bye and bye Lord, bye and bye There's a better home awaiting In the sky Lord, in the sky Oh when back home Lord My home was lonesome Mist my mother she was gone All my brothers, sisters crying What a home so sad and low
