Will the Circle Be Unbroken

In the sky, Lord, in the sky
Found my brothers, sisters crying
Went back home and home was lonesome
By and by, Lord, by and by?
"Undertaker, please drive slow
Will the circle be unbroken

Lord, I hate to see her go"
By and by, Lord, by and by?

There's a better home awaiting

Since my mother, she had gone

There's a better home awaiting
To carry mother away
I will follow close behind her
Will the circle be unbroken
For this lady, you are hauling
Try to hold up and be brave
When they laid her in her grave

I said to the undertaker
But I could not hide my sorrow
When I saw the hearse come rolling
What a home so sad and lone
