Standard (EADGBE)

 I was standing by my window

 On a cold and cloudy day

 When I saw the hearse come rolling

 For to carry my mother away.

 Will the circle be unbroken?

 By and by Lord, by and by

 There's a better home awaiting

 In the sky Lord, in the sky.

 Well, I went back home, home was lonely

 For my mother she was gone

 And all my family there was cryin'

 For our home felt sad and alone.

 Will the circle be unbroken?

 By and by Lord, by and by

 There's a better home awaiting

 In the sky Lord, in the sky.

 Undertaker, undertaker

 Won't you please drive slow

 For that lady you are haulin'

 Lord, I hate to see her go.

 Will the circle be unbroken?

 By and by Lord, by and by

 There's a better home awaiting

 In the sky Lord, in the sky.
