Will the circle be unbroken　
Bye and bye Lord bye and bye　
There's a better home a waiting　
In the sky Lord in the sky　
I was standing by the window
On a cold and cloudy day　
When I saw the hearse come rolling
For to carry my mother away
Will the circle be unbroken　
Bye and bye Lord bye and bye
There's a better home a waiting
In the sky Lord in the sky
Lord I told they undertaker　
Undertaker please drive slow　
For this body you are carrying　
How I hate to see her go　
Will the circle be unbroken　　
Bye and bye Lord bye and bye　
There's a better home a waiting　
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 that grave
Will the circle be unbroken　
Bye and bye Lord bye and bye　
There's a better home a waiting　
In the sky Lord in the sky　
Will the circle be unbroken　
Bye and bye Lord bye and bye
There's a better home a waiting
In the sky Lord in the sky
