(A.P. Carter)

Will the circle be unbroken, (Be unbroken?)
By and by, Lord, by and by? (By and by.)
There's a better home a-waiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky.

I was standin' by my window
On a cold and cloudy day
When I saw that hearse come rolling
For to carry my mother away.

Will the circle be unbroken, (Be unbroken?)
By and by, Lord, by and by? (By and by.)
There's a better home a-waiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky...
