about

traditional, lyrics adapted by yarn

lyrics

i was standing by the ocean on a cold and cloudy day
when i saw that hearse come rolling to carry my mother away
will the circle be unbroken? by and by y’all by and by
there’s no better home awaiting in the sky y’all in the sky
well, i told that undertaker : “undertaker, please drive slow. for that body you are hauling, oh, i hate to see it go.” will the circle be awoken? by and by y’all by and by there’s no better home awaiting in the sky no in the sky

i went home, y’all, home was lonesome
for my mother she was gone
all my brothers, sisters crying:
“what a home so sad and alone.”

will the circle be awoken? by and by y’all by and by there’s no heaven no home awaiting
in the sky no in the sky
