Lyrics
I was standing by my window
On a cold and cloudy day
When I saw the 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 awaiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
Oh, I told that undertaker
"Undertaker, please 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 awaiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
Well, I followed close behind them
Tried to hold up and be brave
But I could not hide my sorrow
When they laid her in the grave
And back home, Lord, my home was lonely
As my mother, she was gone
All my brothers, sisters crying
What a home so sad and lone
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
