I was standing by my window,On one cold and cloudy dayWhen I saw that hearse come rollingFor to carry my mother awayWill the circle be unbrokenBy and by, Lord, by and byThere's a better home a-waitingIn the sky, Lord, in the skyI said to that undertakerUndertaker please drive slowFor this lady you are carryingLord, I hate to see here goI went back home, my home was lonesomeMissed my mother, she was goneAll of my brothers, sisters cryingWhat a home so sad and loneWill the circle be unbrokenBy and by, Lord, by and byThere's a better home a-waitingIn the sky, Lord, in the sky

    Delta Dawn what's that flower you have on
    D7
    Could it be a faded rose from days gone by
        G                           C                  G
    And did I hear you say he was a meeting you here today
                       D7             C
    To take you to his mansion in the sky

    She's forty-one and her daddy still calls her baby
                         C                     G
    All the folks around Brownsville say she's crazy
              C                        Am       D7     G
    Cause she walks around town with a suitcase in her hand
                  C                      G
    Looking for a mysterious dark haired man

    In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn
                        C              G
    Prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on
           C                              G
    Then a man of low degree stood by her side
                          C                G
    And promised her he'd take her for his bride

    Repeat #1
