There's a better home a-waiting

I said to the undertaker
Undertaker please drive slow
For that body you are hauling
Lord I hate to see her go

Well I followed close behind her
Tried to hold on and be brave
But I could not hide my sorrow
When they laid her in that grave

I went back home Lord that home was lonesome
Since my mother, she was gone
All my brothers and sisters crying
What a home so sad and alone
