Lyrics Will the Circle Be Unbroken - Red Foley

I was standin' by the 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 awaitin'
In the sky, Lord, in the sky.

--- Instrumental ---

Lord, I told thar undertaker
Undertaker please drive slow
For this body you are haulin'
Lord, I hate to see her go.

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.

--- Instrumental ---

I will follow close behind her
Try 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 awaitin'
In the sky, Lord, in the sky...
