I was standin' by my window
On one cold and cloudy day
When I saw the hearse come rollin'
For to carry my mother away
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waitin'
In the sky Lord, in the sky
I went back home, my home was lonely
For my mother she was gone
All my brothers set to cryin'
For the home so sad and alone
Undertaker, please undertaker
Undertaker, please drive slow
For that body you are hauling
Lord, I hates to see her go
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waitin'
In the sky Lord, in the sky
