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
