I'm Gonna Sing
Hank Williams Jr. · Sunday Morning [1969]
I get to glory I'll see no more
For I know my prayers have not been in vain
When I get to glory I'm gonna sing sing sing
When I get to glory I'm gonna sing sing sing I'm gonna
let the hallelujahs ring
I'm gonna praise my blessed Saviour's name
When I get to glory I'm gonna sing sing sing
[ banjo ]Sometimes I get so weary inside then I recall how my Jesus died
Up there I know there'll be no pain when I get to glory
I'm gonna sing sing sing
When I get to glory...
[ fiddle ]Up there no tears will blind my eyes and
I'll walk along by my Jesus side
I'll meet my loved ones all once again when I get to
glory I'm gonna sing sing sing
When I get to glory...
About I'm Gonna Sing

The recording captures the essence of the late 1960s country-rock movement, blending traditional country instrumentation with a grittier, more aggressive delivery that signaled a shift toward a harder-edged sound. As part of his foundational work, the track highlights Williams Jr.'s ability to channel the blues and rock influences of his era while maintaining the heartland roots of his musical heritage. It remains a significant example of his early catalog, showcasing the artistic maturity he achieved just as he began to establish himself as a major force in American country music.
