[Verse 1]
Some bright mornin' when this life is over
I'll fly away
To that home on God's celestial shore
I'll fly away

[Chorus]
I'll fly away, oh glory
I'll fly away in the mornin'
When I die, hallelujah by and by
I'll fly away

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
I'll (fly away) fly away, oh glory
I'll fly away, in the morning
When I die hallelujah by and by
I'll fly away

[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Oh, how glad and happy when we meet
I'll fly away
No more cold iron shackles on my feet
I'll fly away

[Chorus]
I'll fly away, oh glory
I'll fly away in the mornin'
When I die, hallelujah by and by
I'll fly away

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
I'll fly away, oh glory
I'll fly away in the mornin'
When I die, hallelujah by and by
I'll fly away

[Verse 4]
Just a few more weary days and then
I'll fly away
To a land where joys will never end
I'll fly away
[Chorus]
I'll (fly away) fly away, oh glory
I'll fly away in the morning
When I die, hallelujah by and by
I'll fly away

[Outro]
I'll fly away
