I’ll Fly Away

Some glad morning when this life is over, I'll fly away;

To a 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 prison bars has flown, I'll - fly away (Chorus)

 

Oh how glad and happy when we meet, I’ll fly away;

No more cold iron shackles on my feet, I’ll - fly away. (Chorus)

 

(Full Verse and Chorus Instrumental (Optional))

 

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)

 

 

 

 

*Brumley wrote that he’d written the song while picking cotton, and the labor of picking cotton was what he

really wanted to fly away from.
