Oh no, the circle won't be broken By and by Lord, by and by Daddy sang ba**, mama sang tenor Me and little brother would join right in there In the sky Lord, in the sky. --- Instrumental --- I remember after work Mama would call in all of us You could hear us singing for a country mile Now little brother has done gone on But I'll rejoin him in a song And we'll be together again up yonder in a while.
