I'll Fly Away

Alan Jackson · Precious Memories [Arista Records] [2006]

(Albert E. Brumley)

Some glad morning when this life is o'er

I'll fly away

To a home on God's celestial shore

I'll fly away (I'll fly away.)

Chorus

I'll fly away, Oh Glory

I'll fly away

When I die, Hallelujah, by and by

I'll fly away (I'll fly away.)

Just a few more weary days and then

I'll fly away

To a land where joy shall never end

I'll fly away (I'll fly away.)

Chorus

I'll fly away, Oh Glory

I'll fly away

When I die, Hallelujah, by and by

I'll fly away (I'll fly away...)
