I was standing by my window
On one cold and cloudy day
And I saw the hearse come rolling
For to carry my mother away
Can the circle be unbroken
Bye and bye  Lord  bye and bye
There's a better home a-waiting
In the sky  Lord  in the sky
Oh  I told the undertaker
Undertaker  please drive slow
For this body you are hauling
How I hate to see her go
Can the circle be unbroken
Bye and bye  Lord  bye and bye
There's a better home a-waiting
In the sky  Lord  in the sky
I followed close beside 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
Bye and bye  Lord  bye and bye
There's a better home a-waiting
In the sky  Lord  in the sky
