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
|
