I was standin' by the window   On a cold, cold 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 said, ?Mister undertaker   Undertaker please go slow   'Cause the woman that you're takin'   Oh, well I hate, I hates to see her go?      Will that circle be unbroken?   In the sky, Lord, in the sky   There's a better home a-waitin'   In the sky, Lord, in the sky
