Lyrics:
One bright morning, when this life is o'er
I'll fly away,
To that home on God's celestial shore
I'll fly away.
cho: I'll fly away (O glory)
I'll fly away (in the morning)
When I die, Hallelujah bye and bye,
I'll fly away, fly away.
When the shadows of this life have gone
I'll fly away
Like a bird from prison bars has flown
I'll fly away
Oh how glad and happy when we meet
I'll fly away
No more cold iron shackles on my feet
I'll fly away
Just a few more weary days and then
I'll fly away
To a land where joys shall never end
I'll fly away
"I'll Fly Away", is a hymn written in 1929 by Albert E. Brumley and published in 1932<br> by the Hartford Music company in a collection titled Wonderful Message. Brumley's<br> writing was influenced in part by "The Prisoner's Song".<br> Albert E. Brumley has been described as the "pre-eminent gospel songwriter" of the<br> 20th century with over 600 published songs. Other titles of his include<br> "Jesus, Hold My Hand", "Turn Your Radio On", "I'll Meet You in the Morning" and<br> "This World Is Not My Home". He got the idea for "I'll Fly Away" from the line 'If I had<br> the wings of an angel, over these prison walls I would fly,' from "The Prisoner's Song".<br> It is a bluegrass and country favorite and has been recorded by many performers. The<br> recording by the Kossoy Sisters (1956) included in the 2000 film, O Brother, Where Art Thou?<br> Following the film it was recorded by Alison Krauss and Gillian Welch.<br>
