I was standing by my window
On a cold and cloudy day
When I saw that hearse come rolling
Oh to carry my mother away
So I told the undertaker
Undertaker please drive slow
'Cause that lady that you are haulin'
Oh I hate to see her go
Will the circle be unbroken
Bye and bye, Lord, bye and bye
There's a better home there waiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
(Will the circle be unbroken)
(Bye and bye, Lord, bye and bye)
(There's a better home a-waiting)
(In the sky, Lord, in the sky)
(Will the circle be unbroken)
(Bye and bye, Lord, bye and bye)
(There's a better home a-waiting)
(In the sky, Lord, in the sky)
So I followed close behind her
Tried to hold up and be brave
But I could not hold my sorrow
When they laid her in the grave
Whoa tell me
Will the circle be unbroken
Bye and bye, Lord, bye and bye
There's a better home there waiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
Will the circle be unbroken
Bye and bye, Lord, bye and bye
There's a better home there waiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
Tell me
Will the circle (will the circle)
Be unbroken (be unbroken)
Oh, bye and bye and bye and bye
There's a better (there's a better)
Home awaiting (home awaiting)
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
Will the circle (will the circle)
Be unbroken (be unbroken)
Bye and bye and bye and bye
Oh there's a better (there's a better)
Home awaiting (home awaiting)
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
