lyrics

[G]I WAS STANDING BY MY WINDOW
ON A [C]COLD AND CLOUDY [G]DAY
WHEN I SAW THAT HEARSE COME ROLLING
FOR TO CARRY [D7]MY MOTHER [G]AWAY.

[G]LORD, I TOLD THAT UNDERTAKER,
UNDER[C]TAKER PLEASE DRIVE [G]SLOW
FOR THIS BODY THAT YOU ARE HAULING
LORD, I HATE TO [D]SEE HER [G]GO.

[G]I FOLLOWED CLOSE BEHIND HER
TRIED TO [C]HOLD UP AND BE [G]BRAVE
BUT I COULD NOT HIDE MY SORROW
WHEN THEY LAID HER [D]IN THE [G]GRAVE.

[G]I WENT HOME, MY HOME WAS LONELY
NOW MY [C]MOTHER SHE WAS [G]GONE
ALL MY BROTHERS, SISTERS CRYING
WHAT A HOME SO [D]SAD AND [G]ALONE

[G]WILL THE CIRCLE BE UNBROKEN
BYE AND [C]BYE LORD, BYE AND [G]BYE,
THERE'S A BETTER WORLD HOME A-WAITING
IN THE SKY LORD, [D]IN THE [G]SKY.

SaltyPaws is a sailing acoustic duo, living aboard their catamaran, sailing and singing the Atlantic eastern seaboard. You'll hear guitar and 5 string banjo, spiced with harmonica and concertina. Wherever the boat is in port, you'll find Bentley and Jim joining a jam, at an open mic, or busking a street corner. ... more
