I was standing by my window
On a cold and cloudy day
When I saw the hearse come rollinUh, to take my mother away.

Will the circle be unbroken?
By and by Lord, by and by,
There's a better home awaitinIn the sky Lord, in the sky.

Well I told the undertaker:
"undertaker, please drive slow,
for that lady that you're haulinWell, I hate to see her go".

Will the circle be unbroken?
Well by and by and by and by..
There's a better home awaitinIn the sky Lord, in the sky.

I will follow close behind her,
Try to hold her and be brave,
But I could not hide my sorrow
When they laid her in her grave

Will the circle be unbroken?
By and by Lord, by and by,
There's a better home awaitinIn the sky Lord, in the sky.

Will the circle be unbroken?
By and by Lord, by and by,
There's a better home awaitinIn the sky Lord, in the sky.
