Undertaker, undertaker, undertaker
Will the circle be unbroken
There's a better home a-waiting
There's a better home a-waiting
Won't you please, please drive slow?
Come to carry my mother away
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
Will the circle be unbroken
I was standing by my window
Lord, I hate to see her go
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
By and by, Lord, by and by?
There's a better home a-waiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
There's a better home a-waiting
On a cold, cold cloudy day
By and by, Lord, by and by
When I saw that hearse come rolling
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
Will the circle be unbroken
'Cause the body that you're carrying
By and by, Lord, by and by
