I was standing by the station
On a cold and cloudy day
When I saw the hearse come rollin'
For to take my mother away.

Shall 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.

Well I told the undertaker:
Undertaker, please drive slow,
For this body you are haulin'
Lord, I hate to see her go

Shall 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

Well I followed close behind her,
Tried to hold up and be brave,
But I could not hide my sorrow
When they laid her in the grave

Shall 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
