Will The Circle Be Unbroken Lyrics - Roy Acuff

I was standing by my window 

On a cold and cloudy day 

When I saw the hearse come rolling 

To carry mother away 

Will the circle be unbroken 

By and by, Lord, by and by? 

There's a better home awaiting 

In the sky, Lord, in the sky 

I said to the undertaker 

"Undertaker, please drive slow 

For this lady, you are hauling 

Lord, I hate to see her go" 

I will follow close behind her 

Try to hold up and be brave 

But I could not hide my sorrow 

When they laid her in her grave 

Went back home and home was lonesome 

Since my mother, she had gone 

Found 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 awaiting 

In the sky, Lord, in the sky
