Lyrics
I was standing by my window
On one 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 a-waiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
I went back home, my home was lonely
For my mother, she was gone
All my brothers, sister's crying
But our home so sad and lone
Undertaker, please undertaker
Undertaker, please drive slow
For that body, you're 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
