Standard (EADGBE)

I was standing by my window

On a cold and cloudy day

When I saw the hearse come rolling

For to carry my mother a way.

Will the circle be un broken?

By and by Lord, by and by

There's a better home awaiting

In the sky Lord, in the sky.

Well, I went back home, home was lonely

For my mother she was gone

And all my family there was cryin'

For our home felt sad and a lone.

Will the circle be un broken?

By and by Lord, by and by

There's a better home awaiting

In the sky Lord, in the sky.

Undertaker, under taker

Won't you please drive slow

For that lady you are haulin'

Lord, I hate to see her go.

Will the circle be un broken?

By and by Lord, by and by

There's a better home awaiting

In the sky Lord, in the sky.
