The Dead South - Will The Circle Be Unbroken

I was standing by my window
On one cold 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 came back home, home was lonesome
Oh my mother, she was gone
And all of my family there was cryin'
For our home felt 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

Undertaker, Undertaker
Won't you please, please drive slow
For that lady you are holdin'
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

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

In the sky, Lord, in the sky
