I was standing by my window
On a cold and cloudy day
When I saw that hearse come rolling
Going to carry my mother away
And so I told the undertaker,
Undertaker please drive slow
For that lady that you’re a carryin’
Oh, I hate to see her go

Chorus:
Will the circle be unbroken
Bye and bye Lord, bye and bye
There’s a better home a’waiting
In the sky Lord, in the sky

So, I followed close behind her,
I tried to hold up and be brave
But I could not hide my sorrow,
When they laid her in the grave
I went back home, my home was lonesome,
Missed my mother she was gone.
All my brothers and sisters crying
In our home so sad and alone.
Chorus:

Oh, we sang the songs of our childhood
Hymns of faith that made us strong,
The ones that mother Maybelle taught us
Hear the angels sing along

Chorus: 2X … tag last line
