I was standin' by my window   On one cold, and cloudy day   When I saw that hearse come rollin'   For to carry my mother away      Will that circle be unbroken   By and by, Lord, by and by   There's a better home a waitin'   In the sky, Lord, in the sky      I went back home, my home was lonely   For my mother, she was gone   All my brothers, sister's cryin'   For the home, so sad and alone      Undertaker, please undertaker   Undertaker, please drive slow   For that body you are hauling   Lord, I hates to see her go      Will that circle be unbroken   By and by, Lord, by and by   There's a better home a waitin'   In the sky, Lord, in the sky
