[Verse 1] I was [C] standing by the window on one [F] cold and cloudy [C] day. – – – When I [C] saw the hearse come rolling for to carry my [G] mother [C] away.
[Chorus]
[Verse 2] I said [C] to the undertaker Under-[F]-taker please drive [C] slow. – – – For this [C] lady you are carrying Lord I hate to [G] see her [C] go
[Chorus]
[Verse 3] Oh, I [C] followed close behind her. Tried to [F] hold up and be [C] brave, – – – but I [C] could not hide my sorrow when they laid her [G] in the [C] grave.
[Chorus] Will the [C] circle be unbroken by and [F] by Lord, by and [C] by.
There’s a [C] better home awaiting In the sky Lord, [G] in the [C] sky
[Verse 4] I went [C] back home, the home was lonesome since my [F] mother, she was [C] gone. – – – All my [C] brothers and sisters crying What a home so [G] sad and [C] alone.
[Chorus]
