Lyrics:

I was standing by my window
On a cold and rainy day
When I saw that hearse come rolling
For to take my mother away

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There`s a better home a-waiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

I said to that undertaker
`Undertaker, please, drive slow`
`For that lady that you are carrying`
`Lord, I hate to see here go`

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There`s a better home a-waiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

Well, I followed close behind her
Tried to hold up and be brave
But I could not hold 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 a-waiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There`s a better home a-waiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
