Description

Refrain:
Will the circle be unbroken by and by, Lord, by and by?
There’s a better home a-waiting if we try, Lord, if we try.

1. I was singing with my sisters (and my brothers)
I was singing with my friends
And we all can sing together,
‘Cause the circle never ends.

REFRAIN

2. I was born down in the valley
Where the sun refuse’ to shine
But I’m climbing up to the highland
Gonna make that mountain mine

REFRAIN

  1. CHRISTIAN ONSAGER

    This arrangement captures the feeling of the song beautifully. Can be sung in appalachian style or more classically and still sound good.
