As I looked out of my window

 On a cold and cloudy day

 What did I see, but the hearse driver

 Come to carry my mother away

 Will the circle be unbroken

 By and by lord by and by

 There’s a better, home a-waitin’

 In the sky lord in the sky

Solo 1

 Will I said then, to that driver

 Driver, driver please drive slow

 Cause that woman that you’re haulin’

 Lord I hate to see her go

 Will the circle be unbroken

 By and by lord by and by

 There’s a better, home a-waitin’

 In the sky lord in the sky

Solo 2

 Its gonna be a mighty day lord

 When I lay my burdens down

 Its gonna be a mighty day lord

 When I lay my burdens down

 I said will the circle be unbroken

 By and by lord by and by

 There’s a better, home a-waitin’

 In the sky lord in the sky

Solo 3

 I said will the circle be unbroken

 By and by lord by and by

 There’s a better, home a-waitin’

 In the sky lord in the sky

 I said will the circle be unbroken

 By and by lord by and by

 There’s a better, home a-waitin’

 In the sky lord in the sky

 I said there’s a better, home a-waitin’
