(With Gillian Welch)
Words and Music by Alfred E. Brumley
Some glad morning when this life is o`er,
I`ll fly away;
To THAT home on God`s celestial shore,
I`ll fly away.
Chorus
I`ll fly away, Oh Glory
I`ll fly away; (in the morning)
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by,
I`ll fly away.
When the shadows of this life have gone,
I`ll fly away;
Like a bird from these prison walls I`ll fly,
I`ll fly away.
Chorus
I`ll fly away, Oh Glory
I`ll fly away; (in the morning)
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by,
I`ll fly away.
Oh how glad and happy when we meet
No more cold iron shackles on my feet
Chorus
I`ll fly away, Oh Glory
I`ll fly away; (in the morning)
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by,
I`ll fly away.
(repeat chorus, after instrumental interlude)
Just a few more weary days and then,
I`ll fly away;
To a land where joy shall never end,
I`ll fly away
Chorus
I`ll fly away, Oh Glory
I`ll fly away; (in the morning)
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by,
I`ll fly away (I`ll fly away).
