I was standing by the windowOn a cold and cloudy dayWhen I saw the hearse come rollingTo carry my mother awayWill the circle be unbrokenBye and bye Lord bye and byeThere‘s a better home a waitingIn the sky Lord in the sky

I said to the undertakerUndertaker please drive slowFor this lady you are carryingLord I hate to see her goWell I followed close behind herTried to hold up and be brave But I could not hide my sorrowWhen they laid her in that grave

Will the circle be unbrokenBye and bye Lord bye and byeThere‘s a better home a waitingIn the sky Lord in the sky
