Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
Well, I told the undertaker
"Undertaker, please drive slow
For that body that you are hauling
Lord, I hate to see her go"
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
I went back home, Lord, almost lonely
For my mother, she was gone
And all my family there was crying
For our home fell sad and alone
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
