Intro | | (freely) Verse I was standing by my window On one cold and cloudy day; When I saw the hearse come a-rolling For to carry my mother away Will the circle be unbroken By and by, Lord, by and by? There's a better home a-waiting In the sky, Lord, in the sky Verse Lord, I told the undertaker "Undertaker, please drive slow Cause this lady that you’re hauling 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-waiting In the sky, Lord, in the sky Verse 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 the grave Will the circle be unbroken By and by, Lord, by and by? There's a better home a-waiting In the sky, Lord, in the sky (ritardando)
