I WAS STANDING BY MY WINDOW
ON A COLD AND CLOUDY DAY
WHEN I SAW THAT HEARSE COME ROLLING
TO CARRY MY BROTHER AWAY
AS I FOLLOWED CLOSE BEHIND HIM
TRYING TO CHEER UP AND BE BRAVE
ALL MY SORROWS I COULD NOT HIDE THEM
WHEN THEY LAID MY BROTHER DOWN IN HIS GRAVE
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
AS I FOLLOWED CLOSE BEHIND HIM
TRYING TO CHEER UP AND BE BRAVE
ALL MY SORROWS WELL I COULD NOT HIDE THEM
WHEN THEY LAID MY BROTHER DOWN IN HIS GRAVE
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
WELL SOME GLAD MORNING WHEN THIS LIFE IS OVER
I’LL FLY AWAY
WHEN I DIE HALLEJUH BYE AND BYE
I’LL FLY AWAY
WELL I’LL FLY AWAY OH GLORY
I’LL FLY AWAY
WHEN I DIE HALLEJUH BYE AND BYE
I’LL FLY AWAY
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
WELL I’LL FLY AWAY OH GLORY
I’LL FLY AWAY
WHEN I DIE HALLEJUH BYE AND BYE
I’LL FLY AWAY
THERE’S A BETTER HOME AWATING
IN THE SKY LORD IN THE SKY
LORD HAVE MERCY IN THE SKY
