[The Dubliners, Eleanor Shanley - Will the Circle Be Unbroken lyrics]
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
