I was standing by the window
|
On a cold and cloudy day
|
When I saw the hearse come rolling
|
To carry my mother away
|
|
Will the circle be unbroken
|
Bye and bye Lord bye and bye
|
There's a better home a waiting
|
In the sky Lord in the sky
|
|
I said to the undertaker
|
Undertaker please drive slow
|
For this lady you are carrying
|
Lord I hate to see her go
|
|
Will the circle be unbroken
|
Bye and bye Lord bye and bye
|
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 that grave
|
|
Will the circle be unbroken
|
Bye and bye Lord bye and bye
|
There's a better home a waiting
|
In the sky Lord in the sky
|
|
I went back home that home was lonesome
|
Since my mother, she was gone
|
All my brothers and sisters crying
|
What a home so sad and alone
|
