Will The Circle Be Unbroken
Ada Habershon, Charles Gabriel
I was standing by my window
On a cold and cloudy day
When I saw the hearse come rolling
Forth to carry my mother away
Will the circle be unbroken?
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
Lord, I told that undertaker
"Undertaker, please drive slow
For the little body you are hauling
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-waiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
Went back home, my home was lonesome
For mother, she was gone
There stood brother, sister's crying
What a home, so sad and alone
Will the circle be unbroken?
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
