I was standing by my window
On a cold and cloudy day
When I saw the hearse come rolling
All 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
Oh i told that undertaker
Undertaker please lower her slow
Cause this lady that you're haulin'
Lord, i hate to see her go
Will the circle, will it be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
Listen
I will follow close behind
Try to hold up and be brave
But i could not hold my sorrow
Lord
Will the circle, will it be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home awaiting
Lord in the sky, Lord in the sky
Will the circle, will it be unbroken
By and by, Lord by and by
There's a better better home awaiting
Lord in the sky, Lord in the sky
There's a better better home awaiting in the sky Lord in the skyyyy dear Lord
