[Verse 1]
One bright mornin' when this world is over
I'll fly away
To that land on God's celestial shore
I'll fly away, fly away

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

[Verse 2]
Just one more weary day and then
I'll fly away
To that land where joys will never end
I'll fly away, fly away

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

[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
One bright mornin' when my time is nigh
I'll fly away
Like a bird o'er these prison walls I'll fly
I'll fly away, fly away

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