Lyrics

I was standin' by my window
On one cold and cloudy day
When I saw that hearse come rollin'
For to carry my mother away

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There’s a better home a-waitin'
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 her grave

We sang the songs of, our young childhood
Hymns of faith that made us strong
The ones that mother, sang and taught us
Oh, hear the angels sing along

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There’s a better home a-waitin'
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

I went home Lord, and I was lonesome
I missed my mother, why did she go
My other brothers and sisters cryin'
Our happy home is so sad now and so alone

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There’s a better home a-waitin'
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-waitin'
In the sky, Lord, in the sky.
