Will the Circle Be Unbroken - The Platters

I was standing by the window

On one cold and cloudy day

When I saw the hearse come rolling

For to take my Mother away

Oh, will the circle be unbroken

By and by, Lord, by and by

There’s a better home awaiting

In the sky, Lord, in the sky

Hey, Undertaker, hey, Undertaker

Undertaker, please drive slow

For that body you are holding

Lord, I hate, I hate to see her go

Oh, will the circle be unbroken

By and by, Lord, by and by

There’s a better home awaiting

In the sky, Lord, in the sky

I went back home

My home was lonesome

Missed my mother, she was gone

All my brothers, sister crying

In our home so sad and alone

Will the circle be unbroken

By and by, Lord, by and by

There’s a better home awaiting

In the sky, Lord, in the sky

Well, 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

Oh, will the circle be unbroken

By and by, Lord, by and by

There’s a better home awaiting

In the sky, Lord, in the sky

Oh, will the circle be unbroken

By and by, Lord, by and by

There’s a better home awaiting

In the sky, Lord, in the sky

In the sky, Lord, in the sky
