I WAS STANDING BY MY WINDOW
ON A COLD AND CLOUDY DAY
WHEN I SAW THAT HEARSE COME ROLLING
TO CARRY MY BROTHER AWAY
AS I FOLLOWED CLOSE BEHIND HIM

TRYING TO CHEER UP AND BE BRAVE

ALL MY SORROWS I COULD NOT HIDE THEM

WHEN THEY LAID MY BROTHER DOWN IN HIS GRAVE



WILL THE CIRCLE BE UNBROKEN

BYE AND BYE LORD BYE AND BYE

THERE'S A BETTER HOME AWAITING

IN THE SKY LORD IN THE SKY



AS I FOLLOWED CLOSE BEHIND HIM

TRYING TO CHEER UP AND BE BRAVE

ALL MY SORROWS WELL I COULD NOT HIDE THEM

WHEN THEY LAID MY BROTHER DOWN IN HIS GRAVE



WILL THE CIRCLE BE UNBROKEN

BYE AND BYE LORD BYE AND BYE

THERE'S A BETTER HOME AWAITING

IN THE SKY LORD IN THE SKY



WELL SOME GLAD MORNING WHEN THIS LIFE IS OVER

I'LL FLY AWAY

WHEN I DIE HALLEJUH BYE AND BYE

I'LL FLY AWAY



WELL I'LL FLY AWAY OH GLORY

I'LL FLY AWAY

WHEN I DIE HALLEJUH BYE AND BYE

I'LL FLY AWAY



WILL THE CIRCLE BE UNBROKEN

BYE AND BYE LORD BYE AND BYE

THERE'S A BETTER HOME AWAITING

IN THE SKY LORD IN THE SKY



WELL I'LL FLY AWAY OH GLORY

I'LL FLY AWAY

WHEN I DIE HALLEJUH BYE AND BYE

I'LL FLY AWAY



THERE'S A BETTER HOME AWATING

IN THE SKY LORD IN THE SKY

LORD HAVE MERCY IN THE SKY
