I was standin' by my window
On a cold and cloudy day
When I saw that hearse come rollin'
For to carry my mother away
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
Undertaker, undertaker
Undertaker, please drive slow
For the party you are haulin'
Lord, I hate to see here go
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
