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 Lord, I told that undertaker Undertaker please drive slow For this body you're haulin' Lord, I hate to see here 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 Oh, I followed close behind her Tried to hold up and be brave But I could not hide my sorrow When they laid her in that grave 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 I went back home Lord, my home was lonesome Searched my mother, she was gone All of 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 In the sky Lord, in the sky
