2012 movie - Will the Circle Be Unbroken lyrics
rate meI was standing by my window,<br>
On one cold and cloudy day<br>
When I saw that hearse come rolling<br>
For to carry my mother away<br>
<br>
Will the circle be unbroken<br>
By and by, lord, by and by<br>
There’s a better home a-waiting<br>
In the sky, lord, in the sky<br>
<br>
I said to that undertaker<br>
Undertaker please drive slow<br>
For this lady you are carrying<br>
Lord, I hate to see here go<br>
<br>
Will the circle be unbroken<br>
By and by, lord, by and by<br>
There’s a better home a-waiting<br>
In the sky, lord, in the sky<br>
<br>
Oh, I followed close behind her<br>
Tried to hold up and be brave<br>
But I could not hide my sorrow<br>
When they laid her in the grave<br>
<br>
Will the circle be unbroken<br>
By and by, lord, by and by<br>
There’s a better home a-waiting<br>
In the sky, lord, in the sky<br>
<br>
I went back home, my home was lonesome<br>
Missed my mother, she was gone<br>
All of my brothers, sisters crying<br>
What a home so sad and lone<br>
<br>
Will the circle be unbroken<br>
By and by, lord, by and by<br>
There’s a better home a-waiting<br>
In the sky, lord, in the sky<br>
<br>
We sang the songs of childhood<br>
Hymns of faith that made us strong<br>
Ones that mother maybelle taught us<br>
Hear the angels sing along<br>
<br>
Will the circle be unbroken<br>
By and by, lord, by and by<br>
There’s a better home a-waiting<br>
In the sky, lord, in the sky<br>
<br>
Will the circle be unbroken<br>
By and by, lord, by and by<br>
There’s a better home a-waiting<br>
In the sky, lord, in the sky<br>
<br>
