Gillian Welch I'll Fly Away Lyrics

I'll Fly Away
(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
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).
