I was standing by the window
On one cold and cloudy day
When I saw that 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
I came back home, the home was lonely
For my mother, she was gone
All my family there was crying
For our 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
Instrumental
Undertaker, undertaker
Won't you please, please drive slow
For that lady you are holding
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
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
In the sky Lord, in the sky
