I  was  standing  by  my  window
On  a  cold  and  cloudy  day
When  I  saw  that  hearse  wheel  rolling
It  was  taking  my  sister  away
Said,undertaker,undertaker
Won't  you  please  drive  real  slow?
That's  my  little  baby  sister
Not  a  soul  came  to  see  her  go
Will  the  circle  be  unbroken?
By  and  by  lord,by  and  by
There's  a  better  home  awaiting
In  the  sky  lord,in  the  sky
I  was  standing  by  my  window
On  a  cold  and  cloudy  day
When  I  saw  that  hearse  wheel  rolling
It  was  taking  my  mother  away
Undertaker,undertaker
Won't  you  please  drive  real  slow?
That's  my  mother,my  dear  old  mother
I  sure  hate  to  see  her  go
Circle  be  unbroken
By  and  by,lord,by  and  by
There's  a  better  home  awaiting
In  the  sky  lord,in  the  sky
Years  have  passed  now
By  the  same  old  window
On  the  cold  and  cloudy  day
When  I  see  the  hearse  wheels  rolling
They  was  taking  Chief  Jolly  away
Undertaker,undertaker
Won't  you  please  drive  real  slow?
That's  Chief  Jolly  that  you're  carryin'
I  sure  hate  to  see  him  go
