I’ll Fly Away ~ Alison Krauss  


Alison Krauss is an American bluegrass singer and fiddle player who has been in the music industry since she was ten years old. She was invited to join the band, Union Station (now Alison Krauss and Union Station) in 1987 and recorded their first album in 1989.

Alison has appeared on numerous soundtracks and has helped usher in a new interest in bluegrass music in the United States.  She has appeared on the Grammy-winning O Brother, Where Art Thou? and on the Cold Mountain soundtracks.

I’ll Fly Away

One of the three songs she performed on the O Brother, Where Art Thou soundtrack. This one she shared vocals and harmony with Gillian Welch to perform a traditional bluegrass/gospel song.  When I go, this is the song that will be on my soul…

Some bright morning when this life is over
I’ll fly away
To that home on God’s celestial shore
I’ll fly away

I’ll fly away oh 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 gone
I’ll fly away
Like a bird from these prison walls I’ll fly
I’ll fly away

I’ll fly away oh glory
I’ll fly away (in the morning)
When I die hallelujah by and by
I’ll fly away

Oh how glad and happy when we meet
I’ll fly away
No more cold iron shackles on my feet
I’ll fly away

I’ll fly away oh glory
I’ll fly away (in the morning)
When I die hallelujah by and by
I’ll fly away

Just a few more weary days and then
I’ll fly away
To a land where joys will never end
I’ll fly away

I’ll fly away oh glory
I’ll fly away (in the morning)
When I die hallelujah by and by
I’ll fly away

    I have gotten a few requests from people who want to donate money to keep this site up and running.  While it feels really strange for me to accept money for what is essentially a hobby for me, I guess I could always accept help in paying for the ever-increasing hosting costs.

    So if you like what you see here, feel free to add to my "tip jar".
