I'll Fly Away (feat. Gillian Welch)

Some bright morning when this life is over

I'll fly away

To that home on God's celestial shore

I'll fly awayI'll fly away, oh glory

I'll fly away in the morning

When I die, Hallelujah by and by

I'll fly awayWhen the shadows of this life have gone

I'll fly away

Like a bird from these prison walls I'll fly

I'll fly awayI'll fly away, oh glory

I'll fly away in the morning

When I die, Hallelujah by and by

I'll fly awayOh, how glad and happy when we meet

I'll fly away

No more cold iron shackles on my feet

I'll fly awayI'll fly away, oh glory

I'll fly away in the morning

When I die, Hallelujah by and by

I'll fly awayI'll fly away, oh glory

I'll fly away in the morning

When I die, Hallelujah by and by

I'll fly awayJust a few more weary days and then

I'll fly away

To a land where joys will never end

I'll fly awayI'll fly away, oh glory

I'll fly away in the morning

When I die, Hallelujah by and by

I'll fly awayI'll fly away
