I was standing by my window on one cold and cloudy day
When I saw that hearse come rollin' for to carry my mother away
Will a circle be unbroken by and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home awaiting in the sky, Lord, in the sky
Undertaker, oh Undertaker, Undertaker, please drive slow
'Cause that lady you are haulin', oh Lord, I hate to see her go
Oh, will that circle be unbroken by and by, Lord, by and by
Well, there's a better home awaiting in the sky, Lord, in the sky
Well, I went back home alone, my home was lonesome
Lord, I miss my mother, she was gone
I had all my brothers and my sisters cryin'
What a home so sad and lone
Oh, will that circle be unbroken by and by, Lord, by and by
Well, there's a better home awaiting in the sky, Lord, in the sky
Oh, will that circle be unbroken by and by, Lord, by and by
Lord, there's a better home awaiting in the sky, Lord, in the sky
Yeah, yeah, yeah
