Subject: ADD Version: I'll Fly Away - Albert E. Brumley
The DT version of "I'll Fly Away" is somewhat different from what's published in the Brumley songbooks. Here's the original version:
I'LL FLY AWAY
Original version
(Albert E. Brumley 1932)
Some glad morning, when this life is o'er
I'll fly away,
To a home on God's celestial shore
I'll fly away.
CHORUS:
I'll fly away (O glory)
I'll fly away (in the morning)
When I die, Hallelujah by and by,
I'll fly away.
When the shadows of this life have grown
Like a bird from prison bars has flown
Just a few more weary days and then
To a land where joys shall never end
...and the DT Version:
I'LL FLY AWAY
(Albert E. Brumley)
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
Like a bird from prison bars has flown
Just a few more weary days and then
To a land where joys shall never end
