Lyrics:
I was standing by the window On a cold and cloudy day When I saw the hearse come rolling To carry my mother away Will the circle be unbrokenBye and bye Lord bye and bye There's a better home a waiting In the sky Lord in the sky Lord I told that undertaker Undertaker please drive slow For that body you’re a haulin’Lord I hate to see her go Well 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. I went back home Lord that home was lonesome Since my mother, she was gone All my brothers and sisters crying What a home so sad and alone.One by one the seats were emptiedOne by one they went awayNow that family they are partedWill they meet again some day.I was singing with my sistersI was singing with my friendsAnd we all can, sing together‘cause the circle never ends
