Lyrics

I was standing by my window On a cold and rainy day When I saw that 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 I said to that undertaker 'Undertaker, please, drive slow' 'For that lady that you are carrying' 'Lord, I hate to see here 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 followed close behind her Tried to hold up and be brave But I could not hold my sorrow When 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 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
