Will The Circle Be Unbroken Lyrics

by Mavis Staples

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

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e120804-mavis_staples~will_the_circle_be_unbroken_lyrics.html ]
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by?
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

Well, I went back home, home was lonely
For my mother she was gone
And all my family there was cryin'
For our home felt sad and alone

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by?
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

Undertaker, undertaker, undertaker
Won't you please drive slow?
For that lady 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 better home awaiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
