Lyrics:
I was standing by my windowOn a cold and cloudy dayWhen I saw that hearse come rollingFor to carry my mother away(chorus)Will the circle be unbrokenBy and by, Lord, by and byThere's a better home awaitingIn the sky, Lord, in the sky(break)Well I told the undertakerUndertaker please drive slowFor the body that you are haulingLord, I hate to see her goChorus(break)Well I followed close behind herTried to hold up and be braveBut I could not hide my sorrowWhen they laid her in her graveChorus(break)Went back home, Lord, oh so lonesomeSince my mother she was goneAll my brothers, sisters cryingWhat a home so sad and 'loneChorus
