The Dubliners — Will the Circle Be Unbroken

Will the circle be unbroken By and by, Lord, by and by There's a better home a-waiting In the sky, Lord, in the sky I was standing by my window On one cold and cloudy day When I saw this 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 a-waiting In the sky, Lord, in the sky Lord, I told the undertaker "Undertaker please drive slow For this lady you are carrying Lord, I hate to see here go" Will the circle be unbroken By and by, Lord, by and by There's a better home a-waiting In the sky, Lord, in the sky Well, I followed close behind her Tried to hold up and be brave But I could not hide my sorrow When they laid her in her grave Will the circle be unbroken By and by, Lord, by and by There's a better home a-waiting In the sky, Lord, in the sky I went back home, Lord, 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-waiting 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-waiting In the sky, Lord, in the sky
