Lyrics
I was standing by my window
On one cold and cloudy day
When I saw the hearse come rolling
For to take 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
Undertaker, undertaker, undertaker please drive slow
For the body that you do carry
Lord I hate to see it 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
Well I tried to walk beside her
I tried to stand up and be brave
But I could not hide my sorrow
As they laid her in the grave
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
There's a better home a-waiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
