I was standing by the window
On a cold and cloudy day
When I saw the hearse come rolling
For to carry my mother away

Will the circle be unbroken
Bye and bye Lord bye and bye
There's a better home a-waiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

Undertaker, oh, undertaker
Undertaker please drive slow
'Cause that lady you are carrying
Lord I hate to see her go

Will the circle be unbroken
Bye and bye, Lord, bye and bye
There's a better home a-waiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

I went back home that home was lonesome
Since my mother, she was gone
All my brothers and sisters crying
What a home so sad and alone

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

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