      D              D7
I was standing by my window
     G               D
On a dark and cloudy day
       D
When I saw the hearse come rolling
       D          A7      D         (stop) 
For to take me my mother away

  Can the circle be unbroken ?
  Bye and bye, Lord, bye and bye
  There's a better home awaiting
  In the sky, Lord, in the sky

Lord, I told the undertaker
"Undertaker, please drive slow
For the body you're a-hauling
Lord, I hate to see her go"

  Refrain

I will follow close behind her
Try to hold up and be brave
But I could not hide my sorrow
When they laid her in her grave

   Refrain

Went back home, Lord, home was lonesome
Yes, my mother she was gone
All my brothers, sisters cryin'
What a home so sad sad and lone

   Refrain

       D          A7     D 
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
