Lyrics

I was standing by my window
On one cold and cloudy...
When they heard... come a'rollin
To carry my mother away
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and...
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
And I told the undertaker
"Undertaker please drive slow
For this lady, that you haulin'
Oh, I hate to see her go"
Will the circle be unbroken
By and...
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
I will follow, long behind her
Try to stand 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...
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
