-- OR -- 
I was standing by my window ... on a cold and cloudy day
When I saw that .. hearse come rolling ... fFor to carry my mother away
Will the circle be unbroken ... bye and bye Lord bye and bye
There's a better home a waiting ... in the sky Lord in the sky
I said to that ... undertaker ... Undertaker please drive slow
For that lady .. you are carrying ... Lord I hate to see her go
CH
Well I followed close behind her ... tried to hold up and be brave
But I could not ... hide my sorrow ... when they laid her in that grave
CH
I went back home ... that home was lonesome ... since my mother, she was gone
All my brothers ... and sisters crying ... what a home so sad and alone.
CH
We sang ... the songs of childhood ... Hymms of faith that made us strong
Ones that Mother Maybelle taught us ... hear the angels sing alongs
