歌词
I was standing by the window
On one cold and cloudy day
And I saw the hearse come rolling
For to carry my mother away
Oh can the circle be unbroken
Bye and bye, Lord, bye and bye
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
Lord, I told the undertaker,
Undertaker please drive slow
For this body you are holding
Lord, I hate to see her go
Can the circle be unbroken
Bye and bye, Lord, bye and bye
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
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
Can the circle be unbroken
Bye and bye, Lord, bye and bye
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
Went that home Lord,
My home was lonesome
Yes my mother she was gone
All my brothers, sisters cryin'
What a home so sad and lone
Can the circle be unbroken
Bye and bye, Lord, bye and bye
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
