A A7

I was standing by my window

D A

On one cold and cloudy day

A A F#m

When I saw that hearse come rolling

A E A

For to carry my mother away

Chorus:

A A7

Will the circle be unbroken

D A

By and by, Lord, by and by

A F#m

There's a better home a-waiting

A E A

In the sky, Lord, in the sky

I said to that undertaker

undertaker please drive slow

for this lady you are carrying

Lord, I hate to see here go

Chorus

Banjo/Guitar Solo

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

Chorus

I went back home, my home was lonesome

missed my mother, she was gone

all of my brothers, sisters crying

what a home so sad and lone

Chorus

Fiddle/Dobro Solo

We sang the songs of childhood

Hymns of faith that made us strong

Ones that Mother Maybelle taught us

Hear the angels sing along

Chorus

Chorus (end on D over sky on this one)
