Lyrics
I was standin’
by my window
on a dark and dusty day
when I saw that
carriage comin’
for to carry my poor lover away
Will the circle
be unbroken
by and by,
Lord, by and by.
There’s a better
home awaitin’
in the sky, Lord,
in the sky.
Undertaker,
undertaker
easy down slow
for that body
you are holdin’
Lord I hate to see
her go.
Will the circle
be unbroken
by and by, Lord,
by and by.
There’s a better
home awaitin’
in the sky, Lord,
in the sky.
