I was standing by my window
On one cold and cloudy day
I saw the hearse come a-rolling
For it carried 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
Well i call out undertaker
"undertaker, please drive slow
For this body you are holding
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
I will follow close beside her
Try to hold on and be brave
But i could not hide my sorrow
When they laid her in the grave
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
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
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
In the sky lord,
In the sky lord,
In the sky!
