(A.P.Carter)   Danial I'Donnell      I was standin' by the window   On a cold and cloudy day   When I saw that hearse come rollin'   For to carry 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 said pitty, undertaker   Undertaker please drive slow   For this lady you are carryin'   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.      --- Instrumental ---      Oh, 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 of my brothers, sisters crying   What a home so sad and lone.      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.      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.      There's a better home a-waitin'   In the sky, Lord, in the sky...
