This is a traditional song.
Jeff performed it live at the Club Logo, Hamburg, on February 22, 1995.
I was standing by my window
On a cold and cloudy day
When I saw the hearse come rollin'
Uh, to take my mother away.
Will the circle be unbroken?
By and by Lord, by and by,
There's a better home awaitin'
In the sky Lord, in the sky.
Well I told the undertaker:
"undertaker, please drive slow,
for that lady that you're haulin'
Well, I hate to see her go".
Will the circle be unbroken?
Well by and by and by and by..
There's a better home awaitin'
In the sky Lord, in the sky.
I will follow close behind her,
Try to hold her 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 awaitin'
In the sky Lord, in the sky.
Will the circle be unbroken?
By and by Lord, by and by,
There's a better home awaitin'
In the sky Lord, in the sky.
