Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - Will The Circle Be Unbroken Lyrics
I was standing by my window,On one cold and cloudy dayWhen I saw that hearse come rollingFor to carry my mother awayWill the circle be unbrokenBy and by, lord, by and byTheres a better home a-waitingIn the sky, lord, in the skyI said to that undertakerUndertaker please drive slowFor this lady you are carryingLord, I hate to see here goWill the circle be unbrokenBy and by, lord, by and byTheres a better home a-waitingIn the sky, lord, in the skyOh, I followed close behind herTried to hold up and be braveBut I could not hide my sorrowWhen they laid her in the graveWill the circle be unbrokenBy and by, lord, by and byTheres a better home a-waitingIn the sky, lord, in the skyI went back home, my home was lonesomeMissed my mother, she was goneAll of my brothers, sisters cryingWhat a home so sad and loneWill the circle be unbrokenBy and by, lord, by and byTheres a better home a-waitingIn the sky, lord, in the skyWe sang the songs of childhoodHymns of faith that made us strongOnes that mother maybelle taught usHear the angels sing alongWill the circle be unbrokenBy and by, lord, by and byTheres a better home a-waitingIn the sky, lord, in the skyWill the circle be unbrokenBy and by, lord, by and byTheres a better home a-waitingIn the sky, lord, in the sky
