I was standing by my window
On a cold cloudy day
When I saw that hearse come rollingFor 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
Home was lonely
For my mother she was gone
And 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
Undertaker, undertaker
Won′t you please, please drive slow?
For that lady you are hauling
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
