Lyrics:

I was standing
At my window,
On a cold and cloudy day,
When I saw the
Hearse come rollin'
Oh, to carry my mother away.

May 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 told the Undertaker
'Undertaker,
Please please drive slow,
Cause the lady,
That you're haulin,
Lord I hate to see her go.'

May 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 behind her,
Try to hold by and be brave,
But I could not
Hold my sorrow,
When they laid her in the grave.

May the circle be unbroken
By and by,
Lord by and by
There's a better
Home awaiting,
In the sky, Lord
In the sky
