Will the circle be unbroken lyrics

Artist  : Nitty gritty dirt band 
Song : Will the circle be unbroken
 
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



Chorus

 Will The Circle Be Unbroken, by and by Lord, by
and by

 There's a better, home awaitin', 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 her go."



Chorus

 Will The Circle Be Unbroken, by and by Lord, by
and by

 There's a better, home awaitin', in the sky,
Lord, in The sky





Oh I'd follow close behind her,

Tried to hold up and be brave,

But I could not hide my sorrow 

When they laid her in the grave.



Chorus

 Will The Circle Be Unbroken, by and by Lord, by
and by

 There's a better, home awaitin', in the sky,
Lord, in The sky



I went back home, but home was lonesome,

This my mother she was gone

All my brothers, and sisters cryin'

What a home so sad and 'lone



Chorus

 Will The Circle Be Unbroken, by and by Lord, by
and by

 There's a better, home awaitin', in the sky,
Lord, in The sky



We sang the songs of childhood,

Hymns of faith that made us strong

Ones that mother way back taught us

And the angels sang along.



Final Chorus

 Will The Circle Be Unbroken, by and by Lord, by
and by

 There's a better, home awaitin', in the sky,
Lord, in The sky



 Will The Circle Be Unbroken, by and by Lord, by
and by

 There's a better, home awaitin', in the sky,
Lord, in The sky
