Will The Circle Be Unbroken - Mavis Staples

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

Well, I went back home, home was lonely

For my mother she was gone

And all my family there was cryin'

For out home felt sad and alone

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

Undertaker, undertaker, undertaker

Won’t you please drive slow

For that lady you are haulin'

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

There’s a better home awaiting

In the sky Lord, in the sky…
