I was standing by my window On one cold and cloudy day When I saw the hearse come rollin' Far to carry my mother away 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 lonely For my mother, she was gone All my brothers, sisters cryin' Bought a home so sad and long Undertaker, please undertaker Undertaker, please drive slow For that body you are haulin' Lord, I hate to see her go 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
