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
