Lyrics:

Glory, glory, hallelujah
When I lay my burden down
Glory, glory, hallelujah
When I lay my burden down
I was standing by my window
On a cold and a cloudy day
When I saw that hearse come a-rollin'
For to carry my mother away

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waitin'
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

I said to that undertaker
Undertaker, please drive slow
For this body, you are haulin'
Oh, I hate to see her go

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waitin'
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

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

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waitin'
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

I went back home then, my home was lonesome
Since momma, she was gone
All of my brothers, sisters cryin'
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-waitin'
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-waitin'
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

Glory, glory, hallelujah
When I lay my burden down
Glory, glory, hallelujah
When I lay my burden down
