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. |
|
Well, I went back home, home was lonely |
|
For my mother she was gone |
|
And all my family there was cryin' |
|
For out home felt sad and alone. |
|
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. |
|
Undertaker, undertaker, undertaker |
|
Won't you please drive slow |
|
For that lady you are haulin' |
|
Lord, I hate to see her 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. |
|
There's a better home awaiting |
|
In the sky Lord, in the sky... |
