I was standin' by my window
On a cold and cloudy day
When I saw that hearse come rollin'
And it took my mother away
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by-why, by and by
There's a better home awaitin'
In the sky Lord, in the sky
Lord, I told that undertaker
Undertaker please drive slow
For that lady that your takin'
Lord, I hate to see her go
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by-why, by and by
There's a better home awaitin'
In the sky Lord, in the sky
I will follow close behind her
Try to hold up and be brave
But I could not hide my sorrow
When they laid her in her grave
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by-why, by and by
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky Lord, in the sky
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by-why, by and by
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky Lord, in the sky
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by-why, by and by [fade]
