I was standing by the window 
On a cold and cloudy day 
When I saw the hearse come rolling 
To carry my mother away 

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 

Lord I told that undertaker 
Undertaker please drive slow 
For that body you're a haulin'
Lord I hate to see her go 

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 that grave

I went back home Lord that home was lonesome 
Since my mother, she was gone 
All my brothers and sisters crying 
What a home so sad and alone

One by one the seats were emptied
One by one they went away
Now that family they are parted
Will they meet again some day

I was singing with my sisters
I was singing with my friends
And we all can, sing together
‘Cause the circle never ends
