Will the Circle Be Unbroken Songtext
von The Frames

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

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

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

Lord, I told the undertaker
"Undertaker, please drive slow
For this body you are hauling
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

Well, I followed close behind her
Tried 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 better home awaiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

I went back home, Lord, my home was lonesome
Missed my mother, she was gone
All my brothers, sisters crying
For a home so sad and low


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
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
