(One, two) |
|
I was standing |
|
By the window |
|
On a dark and cloudy day |
|
When I saw the |
|
Hearse come rolling |
|
For to take my mother away |
|
Can 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 the |
|
Undertaker, |
|
"Undertaker, |
|
Please drive slow |
|
For the body you are taking |
|
Lord, I hate to see her go" |
|
Can 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 followed |
|
Close behind her |
|
Tried to hold up and be brave |
|
But I could not |
|
Hide my sorrow |
|
When they laid her in the grave |
|
Can the circle be unbroken |
|
By and by, Lord, by and by |
|
There's a better home awaiting |
|
In the sky, Lord, in the sky |
|
Can the circle be unbroken |
|
By and by, Lord, by and by |
|
There's a better home awaiting... |
