I was standing by the window

On a cold and cloudy day

When I saw the hearse come rolling

To carry my mother away

Will the circle be unbroken

Bye and bye Lord bye and bye

There's a better home a waiting

In the sky Lord in the sky

I undertaker

Undertaker

Undertaker please drive slow

For this lady you are carrying

Lord I hate to see her go

Will the circle be unbroken

Bye and bye Lord bye and bye

There's a better home a waiting

In the sky Lord in the sky

I went back home that home was lonesome

Since my mother she was gone

All my brothers and sisters crying

What a home so sad and alone

Will let say go

Will the circle be unbroken

Bye and bye Lord bye and bye

There's a better home a waiting

In the sky Lord in the sky

Will let say go

Will the circle be unbroken

Bye and bye Lord bye and bye

There's a better home a waiting

In the sky Lord in the sky
