I'll Fly Away

George Jones · The Gospel Collection [2003]

Well, some glad morning when this life is oer,

I'll fly away.

To a home on God's celestial shore,

I'll fly away.

Oh, I'll fly away, O Glory,

I'll fly away

When I die, Hallelujah, bye and bye,

I'll fly away.

When the shadows of this life have gone,

I'll fly away.

Like a bird from prison bars have flown,

I'll fly away.

Oh, I'll fly away, O Glory,

I'll fly away.

When I die, Hallelujah, bye and bye,

I'll fly away.

--- Instrumental ---

Well, just a few more weary days and then,

I'll fly away.

To a land where joy shall never end,

I'll fly away.

Oh, I'll fly away, O Glory,

I'll fly away.

When I die, Hallelujah, bye and bye,

I'll fly away.

Oh, I'll fly away, O Glory,

I'll fly away.

When I die, Hallelujah, bye and bye,

I'll fly away...
