 G                     G7
I was standing by the window
        C               G
On one cold and cloudy day

When I saw the hearse come rolling
        G7       D7     G
For to carry my mother away

 G                     G7
Will the circle be unbroken
        C               G
By and by, Lord, by and by

Thereʼs a better home a-waiting
                  D7      G
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

 G                     G7
Lord, I told the undertaker:
      C                  G
Undertaker please drive slow

For this body you are hauling
        G7      D7     G
Lord I hate to see her go

 G                     G7
Will the circle be unbroken
        C               G
By and by, Lord, by and by

Thereʼs a better home a-waiting
                  D7      G
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

 G                  G7
I followed close behind her
          C              G
Tried to holdup and be brave

But I could not hide my sorrow
           G7      D7       G
When they laid her in the grave

 G                     G7
Will the circle be unbroken
        C               G
By and by, Lord, by and by

Thereʼs a better home a-waiting
                  D7      G
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

 G                                 G7
Went back home, Lord, my home was lonesome
           C              G
Missed my mother she was gone

All my brothers, sisters crying
        G7     D7       G
What a home so sad and lone

 G                     G7
Will the circle be unbroken
        C               G
By and by, Lord, by and by

Thereʼs a better home a-waiting
                  D7      G
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
