I was standing by the window
CG
On one cold and cloudy day
When I saw the hearse come rolling
G7D7G
For to carry my mother away
GG7
Will the circle be unbroken
CG
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waiting
D7G
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

Lord, I told the undertaker:
CG
Undertaker please drive slow
For this body you are hauling
G7D7G
Lord I hate to see her go
GG7
Will the circle be unbroken
CG
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waiting
D7G
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
GG7
I followed close behind her
CG
Tried to holdup and be brave
But I could not hide my sorrow
G7D7G
When they laid her in the grave
GG7
Will the circle be unbroken
CG
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waiting
D7G
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
GG7
Went back home, Lord, my home was lonesome
CG
Missed my mother she was gone
All my brothers, sisters crying
G7D7G
What a home so sad and lone
GG7
Will the circle be unbroken
CG
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waiting
D7G
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
