I was standing by my window
On a cold cloudy day
When I saw that hearse come rolling
For to carry my mother away

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

I came back home
Home was lonely
For my mother she was gone
And all my family
There was crying
For our home felt sad and alone

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

Undertaker, undertakеr
Won't you please, pleasе drive slow
For that lady you are hauling
Lord, I hate to see her go
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waiting
In the sky Lord in the sky

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

In the sky, Lord, in the sky
