I was standing by my window
On a cold and cloudy day
When I saw that hearse come rollin'
Mama as she went along her way
Will the circle be unbroken
Bye 'n bye, bye 'n bye
There's a better home awaitin'
In the sky, lord, in the sky
Undertaker, undertaker
Can't you drive your hearse on slow
'Cause that body that you're movin'
Lord I hate to see her go
Will the circle be unbroken
Bye 'n bye, bye 'n bye
There's a better home awaitin'
In the sky, lord, in the sky
'Twas my mother they were movin'
Down to that buryin' ground
And my sister and my older brother
Standing cryin' as she hung on down
Will the circle be unbroken
Bye 'n bye, bye 'n bye
There's a better home awaitin'
In the sky, lord, in the sky
