Will The Circle Be Unbroken Lyrics - Deadwood: Music From Hbo Original Series - Deadwood

I was standing by my window, 

On one cold and cloudy day 

When I saw that 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 said to that undertaker 

undertaker please drive slow 

for this lady you are carrying 

Lord, I hate to see here 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 

Oh, 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-waiting 

in the sky, Lord, in the sky 

I went back home, my home was lonesome 

missed my mother, she was gone 

all of my brothers, sisters crying 

what a home so sad and lone 

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 

We sang the songs of childhood 

Hymns of faith that made us strong 

Ones that Mother Maybelle 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-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
