Artist/Band: Levon Helm
Lyrics for Song: When I Go Away
Lyrics for Album: Electric Dirt [2009]



Early in the morning

When the church bells toll

The choir's gonna sing

And the hearse will roll

On down to the graveyard

Where it's cold and gray

And then the sun's gonna shine

Through the shadows

When I go away



Don't want no sorrow

For this old orphan boy

I don't want no crying

Only tears of joy

I'm gonna see my mother

Gonna see my father

And I'll be bound for glory

In the morning

When I go away



I'll be lifted up to the clouds

On the wings of angels

There's only flesh and bones

In the ground

Where my troubles will stay



See that storm over yonder

It's gonna rain all day

But then the sun's gonna shine

Through the shadows

When I go away



(I'm going home - Lift me up)

When I go away

(No more trouble - I'm going home)

(Lift me up - When I go away)

No more crying

(I'm going home - Lift me up - When I go away)

No more trials

(I'm going home)

Home to leave my worries in the ground

(I'm going home - Lift me up - When I go away)

No more troubles

(I'm going home - Lift me up - When I go away)

No more crying

(I'm going home - Lift me up - When I go away)

No more trials

(I'm going home)

Home to leave my worries in the graveyard

Home to leave my troubles in the graveyard

Home to leave my trials

And I'll be bound for glory



In the morning

When I go away



All my kin who love me

All my friends who care

Look beyond the dark clouds

We're gonna meet up there



When they lay me in the cold ground

Bow your heads and pray

(Bow your heads and pray)



And I'll be bound for glory

In the morning

When I go away



And then the sun's gonna shine

Through the shadows

When I go away



(I'm going home - Lift me up)

When I go away

(No more trouble - I'm going home)

(Lift me up - When I go away)

No more crying

(I'm going home - Lift me up - When I go away)

No more trials

(I'm going home)

Home to leave my worries in the graveyard

(I'm going home - Lift me up - When I go away)

No more troubles

(I'm going home - Lift me up - When I go away)

No more crying

(I'm going home - Lift me up - When I go away)

No more trials

(I'm going home)

Home to leave my worries in the graveyard

Home to leave my troubles in the graveyard

Home to leave my trials

And I'll be bound for glory

In the morning

When I go away



And then the sun's gonna shine

Through the shadows

When I go away

Ah, when I go away

When I go away

(When I go away)

When I go away

(When I go away)

When I go away
