Back home we never watched TV we'd sit before the fire
Mama'd knit and papa'd sit because he was so tired
My sister read a book my brother played with model cars
And me I sat by fireligh pickin' my guitar
And then mama'd say would you play that song about I'll fly away
So I'd strike out the chords and let 'em ring
Well it sure felt good in harmony to hear the family sing
Oh I'll fly away oh glory I'll fly away
I'd strike out the chords and let 'em ring
Well it sure felt good in harmony to hear the family sing
[ guitar ]
Now I'm afraid those days are gone they're something of the past
There's too much to do these days this world it moves too fast
Thank God I've got a memory to take me back that far
Where I can sit by firelight picking my guitar
And then mama'd say would you play...
Oh I'll fly away oh glory I'll fly away...
Oh I'll fly away oh glory I'll fly away
When I die hallelujah by and by I'll fly away
Oh I'll fly away oh glory I'll fly away
When I die hallelujah by and by I'll fly away
