I'll Fly Away

CD Not Available

Traditional

Maybe the best uke-driven version of this classic ever recorded. Maybe the only. We have played this song ever since a late-night, command performance in the lobby of an Akron, Ohio hotel. The overnight attendant required a song in return for our room keys. We obliged, she joined in on the third harmony part, we rocked the lobby, and we went to bed with smiles on. — AK

 

One fine morning, when my life is o’er
I’ll fly away
To a home, on God’s celestial shore
I’ll fly away

I’ll fly away, oh glory, I’ll fly away
When I die, Hallelujah by and by
I’ll fly away

When the shadows of this life have flown
I’ll fly away
Like a bird o’er the prison walls has flown
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
