Will The Circle Be Unbroken Lyrics - Singles - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

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 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

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 Lord, 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

Will the circle be unbroken 

By and by, Lord, by and by

In the sky, Lord, in the sky
