Lyrics
I was standing by the window On a cold and cloudy day When I saw the hearse come rolling For to carry my mother away Will that circle be unbroken? By and by Lord, by and by You know there's a better home, home awaiting Ooh, in the sky Lord, in the sky Undertaker, oh you undertaker (yes, sir!) Please drive slow, please drive slow 'Cause you know for that body, that you're carrying Lord I hate, Lord I hate to see her go Will the circle be unbroken? (Sing it, sing it y'all) By and by Lord, by and by There's a better home awaiting In the sky Lord, in the sky Oh, I followed close behind her Tried to hold up and, I tried to hold up and be brave But I could not hide my sorrow When they laid 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 I was standing by my window On a cold and cloudy day (yes, sir!) When I saw that hearse oh it's rollin', oh baby For to carry my momma 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 ♪ I went back home, the home was lonesome Missed my mother, 'cause she was gone All my brothers, sisters cryin' What a home, so sad and alone 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 Well we sang, sang the songs of childhood (sang the songs!) Hymns of faith that made us strong (sang the songs!) Oh it was that one, oh that my momma Maybelle taught Hear the angels sing along 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 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 ♪ Now that's a choir Thank you, thank you all
