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’
