I was standing by my window |
|
On a cold and cloudy day |
|
When I saw the hearse come rolling |
|
For 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 |
|
Lord, I told that undertaker |
|
Undertaker please drive slow |
|
For this body you're haulin' |
|
Lord, I hate to see here 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 |
|
Oh, I followed close behind her |
|
Tried to hold up and be brave |
|
But I could not hide my sorrow |
|
When they laid her in that 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 |
|
I went back home Lord, my home was lonesome |
|
Searched my mother, she was gone |
|
All of my brothers, sisters crying |
|
What a home, so sad and lone |
|
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 |
