Lyrics: I’ll Fly Away by Willie Nelson

Some glad morning when this life is over
I’ll fly away
To that home on God’s celestial shore
I’ll fly away, everybody say right here

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 had come
I’ll fly away
Like a bird from prison bars have flown
I’ll fly away

I’ll fly away, Oh Glory
I’ll fly away
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by
I’ll fly away

Just a few more weary days and then
I’ll fly away
To a land where joys will never end
I’ll fly away, here we go

I’ll fly away, oh glory
I’ll fly away in the morning
When I die Hallelujah, by and by
I’ll fly away, little sister let me hear you play

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 I die Hallelujah, by and by
I’ll fly away
