Traditional
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by Lord, by and by
There's a greater home a-waiting
In the sky Lord, in the sky
I was standing on the corner
On one dark and cloudy day
When I saw that hearse come rollin'
For to carry my mother away
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by Lord, by and by
There's a greater home a-waiting
In the sky Lord, in the sky
Lord I told that undertaker
"Oh undertaker please drive slow
For the body that 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 greater home a-waiting
In the sky Lord, in the sky
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 her grave
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by Lord, by and by
There's a greater home a-waiting
In the sky Lord, in the sky
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by Lord, by and by
There's a greater home a-waiting
In the sky Lord, in the sky
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by Lord, by and by
There's a greater home a-waiting
In the sky Lord, in the sky
