| I was standing by my window,
|
| On a cold and cloudy day
|
| When I saw that hearse come rolling
|
| Oh to carry my mother away
|
| So I told the undertaker
|
| Undertaker please drive slow
|
| For that lady that you are haulin'
|
| Oh I hate to see here go
|
| Tell me will the circle be unbroken
|
| By and by, lord, by and by
|
| There’s a better home there waiting
|
| In the sky, lord, in the sky
|
| Will the circle be unbroken
|
| (Will the circle be unbroken)
|
| By and by, lord, by and by
|
| (By and by, lord, by and by)
|
| There’s a better home a-waiting
|
| (There's a better home a-waiting)
|
| In the sky, lord, in the sky
|
| (In the sky, lord, in the sky)
|
| So I followed close behind her
|
| Tried to hold up and be brave
|
| But I could not hold my sorrow
|
| When they laid her in the grave
|
| Will the circle be unbroken
|
| (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)
|
| So I followed close behind her
|
| Tried to hold up and be brave yeah
|
| But I could not hold my sorrow
|
| When they laid her in the grave |
| Say will that 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 will the circle be unbroken
|
| (Will the circle be unbroken)
|
| By and by, lord, by and by
|
| (By and by, lord, by and by)
|

| In the sky, lord, in the sky
|

|
| By and by, lord, by and by
|

|
| In the sky, lord, in the sky
|

|
| In the sky, lord, in the sky
|
| Say now will the circle be unbroken
|
| By and by, lord, by and by
