| I was standing by my 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 a-waiting
|
| In the sky, lord, in the sky
|
| Well I told that undertaker
|
| Undertaker please drive slow
|
| For this body you are carrying
|
| Lord, I hate to see here go
|
| Will the circle be unbroken
|
| By and by, lord, by and by
|
| There’s a better home a-waiting
|
| In the sky, lord, in the sky
|
| I will followed close behind her
|
| Try 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 a-waiting
|
| In the sky, lord, in the sky
|
| Will the circle be unbroken
|
| By and by, lord, by and by
|
| There’s a better home a-waiting
|
| In the sky, lord, in the sky
|
| There’s a better home a-waiting
|
| In the sky, lord, in the sky |
