I was standing by my window
On a 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 awaiting
In the sky Lord, in the sky
Undertaker
Undertaker
Undertaker please drive slow
For that body 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
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 the 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
