Album: Sun Essentials

I was standing by the window
On one cold and cloudy day
When I saw the hearse come rolling
For to carry my mother away
Refrain:
Will the circle be unbroken
Bye and bye Lord, bye and bye
There’s a better home awaiting
In the sky Lord, in the sky
I said to the undertaker
Undertaker please drive slow
For this lady you are carrying
Lord I hate to see her go
(Refrain)
Oh, I followed close behind her
Tried to hold up and be brave
But I could not hide my sorrow
When they laid her in the grave
(Refrain)
I went back home, the home was lonesome
Since my mother, she was gone
All my brothers and sisters crying
What a home so sad and alone
(Refrain)
We sang songs of childhood
hymns of faith that made us strong
Ones that mother maybelle taught us Hear the angels sing along
(Refrain)
