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

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

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 a-waiting
In the sky Lord in the sky

I went back home my home was lonely
For my mother she was gone
All my family they were crying
Feeling sad and all 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
Undertaker undertaker
Won't you please drive real slow
For that lady 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

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

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

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
