Will The Circle Be Unbroken Lyrics - Live: Hope At The Hideout - Mavis Staples

I was standing by my window 

On a cold and cloudy day 

When I saw he hearse come rolling 

For to carry my mother away 

Will the circle be unbroken 

By and by, Lord, by and by? 

There's a better home awaiting 

In the sky, Lord, in the sky 

Well, I went back home, home was lonely 

For my mother she was gone 

And all my family there was cryin' 

For our home felt sad and alone 

Will the circle be unbroken 

There's a better home awaiting 

In the sky, Lord, in the sky 

Undertaker, undertaker, undertaker 

Won't you please drive slow? 

For that lady 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 awaiting 

In the sky, Lord, in the sky 

There's a better home awaiting 

In the sky, Lord, in the sky
