[Verse 1]
I was standing by my window
On one cold and cloudy day
When I saw the hearse come rolling
For to carry my mother away

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Well, I told the undertaker
"Undertaker, please drive slow
For the body you are hauling
Oh, I hate to see her go"

[Chours]
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

[Harmonica Solo]
[Verse 3]
I wеnt back home, my home so lonely
Sincе my mother, she was gone
All my sisters, brothers crying
What a home so sad and alone

[Chours]
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
