The Staple Singers - Will The Circle Be Unbroken lyrics

Can the circle be unbroken By and by, 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 one cold and cloudy day; And I saw the hearse come rolling For to carry my mother away Lord, I told the undertaker "Undertaker, please drive slow For this body you are hauling Lord, I hate to see her go." 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 Went back home, Lord. My home was lonesome Since my mother, she was gone All my brothers, sisters crying What a home so sad and lone! Now my mother, she's crossed over Where so many have gone before; And I know, Lord, I will meet her Just waiting at glory's door
