will the circle be unbroken [#]
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
