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
