| Lyrics: | i was standing by my window
on a cold and cloudy day,
when i saw the hearse come
rollin'
for to take my mother away.
will the circle be unbroken?
by and by
Lord, by and by,
there's a better home a-waitin'
in the sky Lord, in the sky.
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?
by and by
Lord, by and by,
there's a better home a-waitin'
in the sky Lord, in the
sky.
well 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 a-waitin'
in the sky Lord,
in the sky.
i went back home, my home was lonesome,
missed my mother she was
gone.
all my brothers and sisters crying
in our home so sad and alone.
will the
circle be unbroken?
by and by Lord, by and by,
there's a better home a-waitin'
in the
sky Lord, in the sky.
we sang the songs of childhood,
hymns of faith that made us
strong,
ones that our mother had taught us,
hear the angels sing along
will the
circle be unbroken?
by and by Lord, by and by,
there's a better home a-waitin'
in the
sky Lord, in the sky |
