Will The Circle Be Unbroken - Gene Harris

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
