I was standing by the window
|
On one cold and cloudy day
|
When I saw the hearse come rolling
|
For to take my Mother away
|
|
Oh, will the circle be unbroken
|
By and by, Lord, by and by
|
There's a better home awaiting
|
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
|
|
Hey, Undertaker, hey, Undertaker
|
Undertaker, please drive slow
|
For that body you are holding
|
Lord, I hate, I hate to see her go
|
|
Oh, will the circle be unbroken
|
By and by, Lord, by and by
|
There's a better home awaiting
|
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
|
|
I went back home
|
My home was lonesome
|
Missed my mother, she was gone
|
All my brothers, sister crying
|
In our home so sad and alone
|
|
Will the circle be unbroken
|
By and by, Lord, by and by
|
There's a better home awaiting
|
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 the grave
|
|
Oh, will the circle be unbroken
|
By and by, Lord, by and by
|
There's a better home awaiting
|
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
|
|
Oh, will the circle be unbroken
|
By and by, Lord, by and by
|
There's a better home awaiting
|
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
|
|
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
|
