Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I was standing by my window

It was on a cold and cloudy day

When I saw an old hearse come rolling

Oh, to take my mother away

[Verse 2]

Oh, 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]

Oh, I told the undertaker, undertaker, please drive slow

'Cause the lady, that you're hauling

Lord, I hate to see her go

[Verse 4]

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 5]

Sound mighty good to me

You know what, uh?

[Verse 6]

I work harder close behind her

I'll try to hold on

And I'll try to be brave

Well, but I could not, could not hold my sorrow

When they lay her in the grave

[Verse 7]

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 8]

When I die, hallelujah, by and by

Rooting high, by the way

Good luck children, hate to leave you

Well, my time has come, I gotta go

[Verse 9]

Well if I never, never, never, never see you no more

Down here, I want you to meet me on the shore

[Verse 10]

Oh 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
