I'll Fly Away

The traditional backcountry song expressing hope for the joys of heaven and freedom from the cares of this world.
Performed by Johnny, Benny, and Bobby Bronze, November 2022.

Some bright morning when this life is over
I’ll fly away
To that home on God’s celestial shore
I’ll fly away.

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.

Oh how glad and happy when we meet
I’ll fly away
No more cold iron shackles on my feet
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.
