I was standing by the window
C G
On one cold and cloudy day
When I saw the hearse come rolling
G7 D7 G
For to carry my mother away
G G7
Will the circle be unbroken
C G
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waiting
D7 G
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
G G7
Lord, I told the undertaker:
C G
Undertaker please drive slow
For this body you are hauling
G7 D7 G
Lord I hate to see her go
G G7
Will the circle be unbroken
C G
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waiting
D7 G
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
G G7
I followed close behind her
C G
Tried to holdup and be brave
But I could not hide my sorrow
G7 D7 G
When they laid her in the grave
G G7
Will the circle be unbroken
C G
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waiting
D7 G
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
G G7
Went back home, Lord, my home was lonesome
C G
Missed my mother she was gone
All my brothers, sisters crying
G7 D7 G
What a home so sad and lone
G G7
Will the circle be unbroken
C G
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waiting
D7 G
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
