[Verse 1]
I was standing by my window
On a cold and cloudy day
Wehn I saw that hearse come rolling
For to take my mother away

[Chorus]
Will the circle be unbroken
Bye and bye Lord, bye and bye
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

[Verse 2]
Undertaker, undertaker
Undertaker, please drive slow
For that body, you are hauling
Lord, I hate to see it go

[Chorus]
Will the circle be unbroken
Bye and bye Lord, bye and bye
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

[Verse 3]
Well, I followed close behind her
Tried to hold up and be brave
But I could not hide my sorrow
When they laid her in the grave
[Chorus]
Will the circle be unbroken
Bye and bye Lord, bye and bye
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
