Will The Circle Be Unbroken

I was standing by my window
On a cold and cloudy day 
When I saw the hearse come rolling
Forth to carry my mother away 

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

Lord, I told that undertaker
"Undertaker, please drive slow 
For the little body you are hauling
Lord, I hate to see her go"

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

Went back home, my home was lonesome
For mother, she was gone 
There stood brother, sister's crying 
What a home, so sad and alone 

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
