On a cold and cloudy day
When I saw the hearse come rolling
To carry Mother away
Will 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 said to the undertaker
"Undertaker, please drive slow
For this lady you are hauling
Lord, I hate to see her go."
I will follow close behind her
Try to hold up and be brave
But I could not hide my sorrow
When they laid her in her grave
Went back home and home was lonesome
Since my mother, she had gone
Found my brother's sisters crying
What a home so sad and lone
Will 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 was standing by my window On a cold and cloudy day When I saw the hearse come rolling To carry Mother away Will 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 said to the undertaker "Undertaker, please drive slow For this lady you are hauling Lord, I hate to see her go." I will follow close behind her Try to hold up and be brave But I could not hide my sorrow When they laid her in her grave Went back home and home was lonesome Since my mother, she had gone Found my brother's sisters crying What a home so sad and lone Will the circle be unbroken By and by, Lord, by and by? There's a better home awaiting In the sky, Lord, in the sky Explain Request ×
