| 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
|
| Well, I went back home, home was lonely
|
| For my mother she was gone
|
| And all my family there was cryin'
|
| For out home felt 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
|
| Undertaker, undertaker, undertaker
|
| Won’t you please drive slow
|
| For that lady 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
|
| There’s a better home awaiting
|
| In the sky Lord, in the sky… |
