Well I was standing by my window On one cold and cloudy day When I saw the hearse come rolling For to carry my Mother away Oh 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 Hey Undertaker hey Undertaker Undertaker please drive slow For that body you are holding Lord I hate I hate to see her go Oh 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 went back home My home was lonesome Missed my mother she was gone All my brothers sister crying In our home so 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 Well 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 Oh 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 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
