[Chorus]
WILL THE CIRCLE BE UNBROKEN
BYE AND BYE LORD, BYE AND BYE,
THERE S A BETTER WORLD HOME A-WAITING
IN THE SKY LORD, IN THE SKY.
[Verse]
I WAS STANDING BY MY WINDOW
ON A COLD AND CLOUDY DAY
WHEN I SAW THAT HEARSE COME ROLLING
FOR TO CARRY MY MOTHER AWAY.
[Chorus]
WILL THE CIRCLE BE UNBROKEN
BYE AND BYE LORD, BYE AND BYE,
THERE S A BETTER WORLD HOME A-WAITING
IN THE SKY LORD, IN THE SKY.
[Verse]
LORD, I TOLD THAT UNDERTAKER,
UNDERTAKER PLEASE DRIVE SLOW
FOR THIS BODY THAT YOU ARE HAULING
LORD, I HATE TO SEE HER GO.
[Chorus]
WILL THE CIRCLE BE UNBROKEN
BYE AND BYE LORD, BYE AND BYE,
THERE S A BETTER WORLD HOME A-WAITING
IN THE SKY LORD, IN THE SKY.
[Verse]
I FOLLOWED CLOSE BEHIND HER
TRIED TO HOLD UP AND BE BRAVE
BUT I COULD NOT HIDE MY SORROW
WHEN THEY LAID HER IN THE GRAVE.
[Chorus]
WILL THE CIRCLE BE UNBROKEN
BYE AND BYE LORD, BYE AND BYE,
THERE S A BETTER WORLD HOME A-WAITING
IN THE SKY LORD, IN THE SKY.
[Verse]
I WENT HOME, MY HOME WAS LONELY
NOW MY MOTHER SHE WAS GONE
ALL MY BROTHERS, SISTERS CRYING
WHAT A HOME SO SAD AND ALONE
[Chorus]
WILL THE CIRCLE BE UNBROKEN
BYE AND BYE LORD, BYE AND BYE,
THERE S A BETTER WORLD HOME A-WAITING
IN THE SKY LORD, IN THE SKY.
