Lyrics from the MIDI .kar music file

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

Will the circle be unbroken?
By and by Lord, by and by,
There's a better home awaitin'
In the sky Lord, in the sky.

Well I told the undertaker,
"Undertaker please drive slow,
For this lady that you're haulin'
Lord I hate to see her go."

Well I followed close behind,
Tried to hold the family grace,
But I could not hide my sorrow
When they laid her in the grave.

I went back home, my house was lonesome
Cause my mother, she was gone
All my brothers, sisters, crying
What a home, so sad and lone

One by one the seats were empty,
One by one they went away
Now my family, they are parted,
Will they meet again someday.

Will the circle be unbroken?
By and by Lord, by and by,
There's a better home awaitin'
In the sky Lord, in the sky.
