(one, two)
I was standing
by the window
on a dark and cloudy day
when i saw the
hearse come rolling
for to take my mother away
Can the circle be unbroken
by and by, lord, by and by
there's a better home awaiting
in the sky, lord, in the sky
Lord, i told the
undertaker,
"undertaker,
please drive slow
for the body you are taking
lord, i hate to see her go"
Can 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 followed
close behind her
tried to hold up and be brave
but i could not
hide my sorrow
when they laid her in the grave
Can the circle be unbroken
by and by, lord, by and by
there's a better home awaiting
in the sky, lord, in the sky
Can the circle be unbroken
by and by, lord, by and by
there's a better home awaiting...
