The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
I was standing by my window On a cold and cloudy day When I saw the hearse come rollin' For to take my mother away Will the circle be unbroken? By and by Lord, by and by There's a better home a-waitin' In the sky Lord, in the sky I told the undertaker: "Undertaker, please drive slow For this body 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 a-waitin' 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 the grave Will the circle be unbroken? By and by Lord, by and by There's a better home a-waitin' In the sky Lord, in the sky I went back home, my home was lonesome Missed my mother she was gone All my brothers and sisters crying In our home so sad and alone Will the circle be unbroken? By and by Lord, by and by There's a better home a-waitin' In the sky Lord, in the sky We sang the songs of childhood Hymns of faith that made us strong Ones that our mother had taught us Hear the angels sing along Will the circle be unbroken? By and by Lord, by and by There's a better home a-waitin' In the sky Lord, in the sky
