I was standing by my window
On a cold and cloudy day
When I saw that undertaker
For to carry my mother away
Well I told that undertaker
Undertaker please rive slow
For the lady you are hauling
Lord I hate to see that woman go
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by Lord by and by
There's a better home awaiting
By and by Lord by and by
Well I followed close behind them
I tried to stand up and be brave
But I could not hold back my sorrow
When they laid her in the grave
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by Lord by and by
Please tell me there's a better home awaiting
In the sky Lord in the sky
I went back home but my home was lonesome
Since my mother, she was gone
All my brothers and sisters crying
Lord what a home so sad and lonesome
