I’ll Fly Away Lyrics by Rev. J. M. Gates

Complete Recorded Works In Chronological Order Volume 9 (August 1934 To October 1941)

1940

[Intro]
Ahh, I want to talk to you this morning from a song (Yeah)
That I've been hearing so long (Well)
I'll fly away (Yes)
And I've been thinking about that song and the grammatical fringes of that song (Yes)
And I want you to sing it, brother and sisters
Miss, I want you to sing that song
And them I want everybody to help your singin' (Glory)
And now open your mouth and sing it
[Verse]
Some glad morning when this life is o'er
I'll fly away
To a home on God’s celestial shore (I know he want to go)
I'll fly away (Sing it to us)
[Chorus]
I'll fly away, oh glory
I'll fly away
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by
I'll fly away
[Break]
Well now listen children, you talk about flying
But you must remember you gotta have wings to fly
This Bible that I am reading doesn't say about you flying
The only thing it tell you, is to walk (Yeah)
In the path (Yеs), of righteousness (Yeah, glory)
You talk about flying (Wеll)
Nah, you better learn to walk (Yeah)
You got to walk (Hallelujah) this path (Glory)
Of righteousness (Well)
I know you want to fly (Good), but in your heart
Just like (Yeah), every lion den (Hallelujah)
I have imaginary imagination that I am going to fly (Yes)
Sometime you can hear me, singing the same old song (Yes sir)
[Chorus]
And I'll fly away (Sing it), oh glory
I'll fly away (I believe I'll fly)
When I die (I feel that), Hallelujah, by and by (That's in my heart)
I'll fly away (That's the spirit of God)
[Break]
Ahh, you feel like flying, but you must remember (Oh glory)
You got to live in this world
You've got to live it out
You've got to pray it out
And your-your soul, talk to me
Heads on fire (Heads on fire)
And every now and then
You feel like, I can fly away
And I hear you cry
[Chorus]
I'll fly away (Oh yes), oh glory
I'll fly away (He's gonna fly away)
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by (Sing louder)
I'll fly away
